Bybee has just introduced a new product called the iQSE, which is an acronym for "Internal Component Signal Enhancer". The iQSE affects the flow of energy in your component's circuitry. It does this WITHOUT the need for the device to touch any of the active circuitry, but simply attaches to the inside of your component chassis, facing the circuitry.

The principle behind the iQSE can be found in a field of physics called "Spintronics". Here is a video that begins to explain the physics behind this. The iQSE is 'energized' by the energy field that is already present within your component. Once 'energized' the iQSE influences electrons and protons moving through an electrical circuit in such a manner as to create a beneficial “slipstream” effect. Bybee states that the iQSE resonates at the same frequency as the C13 atom, a less common Carbon isotope vs the C12 atom). Consequently, this creates a magnetic field of force effect, whereby the polarity of electrons and protons are altered, affecting their oscillation. This reaction creates an affect that makes the transfer or sharing of electrons between atoms more streamlined and efficient, while air molecules are less resistant.

How to use: Simply attach the Bybee iQSE by peeling off and exposing the self adhesive side of the device, and then attach to an inside facing portion of your component chassis. Note that the adhesive can, over time loosen and the unit may become detached. You may use nylon ties as a more permanent solution. Also, the optimal positioning of the iQSE is nearest to the signal circuitry (as opposed to power supply).

Bybee Technologies has developed the Bybee Quantum Purifiers from ceramics doped with oxides of rare-earth metals such as zirconium and neodymium. They achieve a VP of 92% of the speed of light, which is far higher than VPs of common conductors, which typically range from 50 to 70% of the speed of light. In addition to being near-superconductive, Bybee Purifiers are electrically passive and stable in any circuit. The Bybee Purifiers induce no phase shift whatsoever, and are totally non-reactive, meaning there is no reactance between capacitance and inductance. When placed between an amplifier's power transformer and diode bridge, for example, the Bybee Purifier eliminates undesirable impedance mismatches. In an amplifier-to-speaker connection, the absence of reactance creates an optimal signal transfer and presents an easier load to the amplifier. When transmitting digital information, the Bybee purifier eliminates the overshoot and ringing that can occur in the leading edge of the square wave. This type ofdistortion is a major contributor to the harshness and glare often associated with digital sound. Many well-respected audiophiles swear by Bybee Purifiers. Large Bybees can handle up to 15 amps of current.

The Small Slipstream Quantum Bybee Purifiers represent a combination of the rare earth metal oxide technology of the original devices (above) with carbon fiber materials. Internally they are composed of nanotubes, which are much smaller than a human hair. By incorporating a great many nanotubes in each device, they are able to handle the same amount of current as the original Small Quantum Purifiers that handled up to 4.3 amps. The signal purification capabilities of the new BYbee Slipstream Quantum Purifiers are superior to their predecessors!

The Bybee Silver Slipstream small purifiers use a solid 18 AWG silver wire, and are highly recommended for use in digital circuit inputs/ouputs...

Tie the word "Quantum" to anything related to high end audio, and the "hooey" alarm starts buzzing in many of our heads. Indeed, Quantum theory/mechanics is a strange, mysterious, mostly unproven realm that doesn't lend itself to a great deal of empirical data. However, there are few who will deny that there IS an effect with some quantum devices on the market (Bybee Quantum purifiers come to mind). With that, I introduce the WA-Quantum Chips. I don't know how they work, but based on my own experience, and numerous audiophiles who have been asking for VH Audio to stock this product (after hearing them)- I felt compelled to offer to you.

The WA-Quantum chips are easy to install (they simply stick onto the device), removable, and may be reused.

>>>> The DF-2 is an upgraded version of the original DFV-1<<<<

This is the new improved version of the Furutech LP flattener that is now approved for FLAT-PROFILE/NO GROOVE-GUARD discs. Ultimate Performance & Ultimate Refinement with Ultimate Luxury Every vinyl enthusiast has records in their collection, or come across LPs they'd love to own, but were just too warped for any cartridge/arm to track. The DF-2 the one-stop, one-button solution to your problems! The DF-2 provides controlled-heat perfect flattening for all your warped records, even those with only slight irregularities just enough to unsettle your cartridge and cause mis-tracking. Warps are bad news no matter how you look at it. If the arm/cartridge remains parallel to the LP's surface as with a flat record, VTA (Vertical Tracking Angle) remains unchanged throughout every rotation. Additionally, as the arm/cartridge tracks a warp on its upside, it places greater pressure on the stylus which changes VTF (Vertical Tracking Force) until the peak of the warp, whereupon the cartridge becomes unloaded with too little VTF on the way down. Of course, all this muddles the sound, changing the tonal quality, imaging and soundstage characteristics of the cartridge. A flat record also tracks better with less distortion. An LCD display on the unit keeps you informed of progress, with a tone sounding when done. IMPORTANT: The following LPs should not be treated in the DF-2: 1) LPs weighing less than 110g 2) Light LPs that were manufactured between 1973-74 (Oil crisis) weights range from 100g to 115g.

The new and improved Furutech DeMagα completely demagnetizes LPs and optical disc media such as CD, CD-R, DVD, MD, Game CD, Photo CD, SACD, and DVD Audio with 20% increased demagnetization power than the original deMag. Plus it’s an indispensable accessory for keeping interconnect cables, connectors and power cords demagnetized to prevent magnetic signal distortion. The new stylish DeMagα also features touch panel technology for ease of use.

Demagnetization Isn’t Just For Optical Media Anymore! The DeMagα works for disc media as well as cables, connectors, and power cords! No part of the playback chain should be disturbed by resolution-sapping magnetic interference. Demagnetizing LPs How can an LP be magnetized? It’s plastic! The fact is that pigment added to the plastic during the manufacturing process is the culprit. The minute amount of ferrous material in the pigment causes LPs to become magnetized. Testing at the Tokyo Nanotechnology center with a IHI Gauss meter showed that after an LP was treated with the deMag the magnetic field of the LP was lowered from 620~630 nT to 572~582 nT (nanotesla: a unit of magnetic field strength,1 Tesla = 10,000 gauss) Demagnetizing Cables Electric current generates a magnetic field as it flows through a power cord or conductor. However, magnetic impurities within the materials themselves become magnetized and introduce further magnetic distortion. Just loop your cables and power cords with their connectors on the DeMagα and begin treatment. No matter how valuable or expensive your system is, the only way to achieve top performance is by demagnetizing your problems away! There are no other demagnetizers on the market that can be used in such a versatile and effective way. The DeMagα Demagnetizer can even be used on metal-based accessories like CD stabilizers or speaker terminals. "... demagnetizing an LP definitively removed a high-frequency glaze or glare and seemed to enrich the midband... Demagnetizing LPs works. And do not try one of these devices unless you're prepared to buy it." --Michael Fremer, Stereophile SPECIFICATIONS • Dimension: 487mm/19” W × 68mm/2.7” H (without spikes) × 470mm/18.5” D Approx. • Net Weight: 11.0Kgs/24lbs Approx. • Rating: 110VAC ±15V (USA)

The new Furutech DeStat III anti-static device is a great tweak to remove static from a CD, album or cabling with a Zap! The DeStat II is incredibly easy to use and removes dust and static charge from audio/video media with a 10 second treatment. High performance enthusiasts know that static charges on analog and optical media - LPs, CDs and DVDs - can lead to sudden and distracting noise that compromises the experience. Simply place your media on or hold it under the Destat III and press one button! The powerful fan removes dust while the Destat II's Balanced Ion Flow Generator eliminates static.

Almost every A/V system component benefits from eliminating its static charge. Use the Destat II on the audio/video equipment itself - best to turn them off during treatment - plus power cords, line-level interconnects, speaker cables, and even metal record clamps!

The original Destat garnered much praise, Michael Fremer declaring, "It really worked as promised... the Destat does the job in grand style." Reviewer John Crossett says, "I can't imagine living without it now that I've heard the improvement it can bring."

The Destat II is small, efficient, with a rechargeable battery and easy to use with one hand. Each dust and static removal takes just 10 seconds. Plus a safety circuit prevents any small shocks from the Balanced Ion Flow Generator.

VH Audio has 4 BRAND NEW factory units with small blemishes that we can offer 30% off! These comes with FULL factory warranty, and are unused units....

Over the years, Synergistic Research has developed technologies that redefined what can expected from our audio systems. Products like the original PowerCell with its patented EM Cell set the bar as the world’s first noncurrent limiting AC power conditioner. They then adapted its EM Cell technology to their Tranquility Base isolation platforms that condition signal while still in a component and power cords with Active EM Cells built-in to function as inline power conditioners. They’ve even applied EM Cells to bias system ground in their Active Ground Block ground conditioners and to their FEQ and Atmosphere ULF Field Generators that control room acoustics without the need for massive traditional room treatments. We’ve continued this decade-long adaption of EM Cell technology to condition the digital signal in an Ethernet Switch for perhaps our most transformational product since the original PowerCell line conditioner. It is no secret that digital sound quality has taken monumental strides forward since the days of “Perfect Sound Forever.” It’s also no secret that many audiophiles, including S.R.'s Lead Designer, find much to love about the sound of analog playback from LP’s and Tapes. To quote the late great Harry Pearson of the Absolute Sound, “The best way to enjoy digital is to not listen to analog,” and in many respects, S.R. agrees. A state-of-the-art analog rig still excels in areas of spacial and holographic realism, as well as a harmonic texture that leaves many digital systems sounding somewhat flat and bleached in comparison.

Enter Synergistic's new Ethernet Switch UEF with UEF and Active EM Cell technology to close the gap between digital playback and state-of-the-art analog tapes and LPs. To accomplish this, they combined all EM Cell and UEF Tech applications and Galileo level chassis construction into a single component. EM Cell and UEF Tech to condition the digital signal? Check. An EM Cell to act as a built-in Tranquility Base? Check. A chassis milled from a solid billet of aluminum like our Galileo Active Ground Block? Check. Use of Carbon Fibre to eliminate the effects of chassis vibration on the signal? Check.

They've even included a direct connection port so you can star ground your new Ethernet Switch UEF to an SR Ground Block for an even lower noise floor. Subjectively in their reference system with an Ethernet Switch UEF they hear a more natural presentation of space and harmonic texture that rivals the best LP and tape playback. They also hear a Jet Black noise floor and dynamics analog rigs cannot match. Perhaps we have finally achieved “Perfect Sound Forever?”
