I have had better success with the DakiOm stabilizers than the ByBee RCA Slipstreams. The soundstage shrank, there was a hard edge around the music, as well as a loss of musical synergy, with the ByBees. With the DakiOms, the music was more open, synergistic and involving.
I returned my ByBees to CryoTweaks with the comment that they made the music sound edgy. The owner agreed that for analogue applications, the ByBees were earning mixed reviews, and that the Slipstreams fared better in digital applications. In all fairness, I have not auditioned the ByBees in a purely digital domain.
I'd also spoken with Rick Schultz at EVS--a very gifted and candid circuit designer, who said that, in his opinion, using ByBees in the AC path only degraded the music.
For the money, and for the degree and consistency of improvement, I prefer the DakiOms.
