Power Cord - His 6 foot power cord is extremely flexible and feature our newest crystal technology imbedded into the wiring, and covered with foam teflon tubing. The cord is fully shielded and grounded. Plugs are milled from a solid billet aluminum, with carbon fiber surround; pure copper connectors; and platinum rhodium plated. MSRP: $1499 (4 each) Bybee - Quantum Signal Purifiers - These are new and simple to use devices that when placed under/over components, speaker wire, interconnects and power cords purifies the electron flow reducing noise and hash to dramatically improve performance. The Bybee is a compact (4 X 6 X 1/4 Inch) cast acrylic panel, with a felt-covered bottom. The active elements are specially engineered crystals suspended in epoxy to ensure long life and freedom from damage. The Bybee is completely passive, requiring no battery or other power source. The crystals in the Bybee absorb energy from the signal-carrying wire or component, and align the electrons flowing through the wire or component to enhance the purity and energy of the video or audio signal. The Bybeeworks even with heavily shielded audio cables designed to withstand RFI/EMF noise from the electrical grid. (These are ideal to use in conjunction with the Stein Harmonizers. Placed directly on the Stein Harmonizers they accentuate the positive aspects of the Harmonizers) MSRP: $120 each.

They are approximately 8 inches in length, and are designed to be used as extensions to any single-ended interconnect. MSRP: $599/set. Thank you Jack! 26. We would love to donate again.
