I just got two large Bybee quantum filters with the idea of using them on my power supply. Where would you advise putting them for best results? I heard that it is best to use them as close to the speakers as possible.

All I have to say is that their awesome pair of headphones. Great sound stage, vocals are a bit too strong, you can feel the bass other than hearing it, and great for movies. Comfort is 4.5...

I know people bash on Bose because of they're over priced and I agree. I believe these retail for about $150 or so and I paid $85 for these due to employee discount at where I work. With that...

everything about these headphones is flawless. Everything is balanced, and perfect. Any of the reviews that didn't like them most likely have a fake pair, or, hate life. The only thing I could...

You could try them on each AC lead after the IEC jack (and before the transformer) of a component. I've used the small silver slipstream versions in the analogue section of my DAC (replacing 2 jumpers) with excellent results - there was a reduction of grain and harshness and improved sense of rhythm as compared to the copper version - the silver ones are prohibitively expensive, but far superior to the copper ones. I've heard good things about putting them on the positive lead of tweeters, but haven't tried this. If you do, be sure to use a heat sink to protect the tweeter.

You want to what where? If anywhere put these into interconnects. If your powersupply is dependant on these to sound good it's time to build a new powersupply!

The classic application is soldering them directly to the positive leads on the speaker drivers inside the cabinet. The next logical step, since you only have a pair, is at the end on the positive speaker cables. I agree it's probably not worth it for the power supply.

what do these things do?
I have looked at the description of these devices on the bybeetech site, and found no decription of anything that makes any sense to an engineer.Please disabuse me of my notion that bybee filters are as valuable as placebos or sending money to Robert Tilton Ministries to get healed.
I would love to be convinced otherwise, but all I can think of when confronted with the question of what to do with them are two things:
1) As a silly friend of a silly uncle of mine told me about toothpaste when I was 5 years old: "It's magic -- stick it in your ear and it cleans your teeth!".
2) Treat them with liquid nitrogen (or just stick them in your freezer for awhile) and sell them on ebay to some poor gullible soul for a decent markup as specially cryogenically treated Bybee Quantum Purifiers.
...
sorry.
I'll refrain from posting for awhile, since I haven't been very nice here.

well actually they do do something. But the debate of whether that something has any reasonable effect on audio itself and is useful outside of a labratory attempting to freeze light, transport matter, or do other equally funky Nobel prize winning stuff is debatable.
But once again this leads into the topic of the sound of cables so i'm bailing! Watch for **** falling from fans!

Michael Percy has some application info on them reproduced in his catalog.
Bybee Purifiers are quite controversial, as you can see. Some swear by them, some swear at them. I'm curious myself, but at that price, my curiosity disappears.
Let us know what you end up doing.
