I soldered a couple of Bybee Bullets into a pre-amp for a customer once. He'd picked them up used and not paid nearly the retail price for them. He wanted to know what they sounded like (he's a self-declared believer in 'foo', as the whole class of devices which make no measurable difference is commonly known). While they were with me I made a quick measurement of their series resistance (pretty much the same as a piece of wire) and some rather more careful before-and-after measurements of the pre-amp's performance. I couldn't measure any difference. My customer thought they made the pre-amp sound distinctly worse. He did try them for a few days, just in case they needed to 'burn in'. But he couldn't hear any improvement with time, so out they came.

Cheers,

GJ
