Wonder if my Mainstream will arrive before my two Snubways arrive.  Not complaining at all, I placed my Snubway orders way late. Honestly the delay is giving me more time to get my UFO25 tube rolling sorted, which is getting real close. Adding more devices why trying to shake out the tubes will just confuse me more.

Did anyone try the Snubway together with the Main Stream plug?
I know there is a review on Positive-Feedback...any further opinions?

Here’s an update from Damien I received today:
“The first Main Stream are coming off the line this week and being shipped to the first preorders. It is a slow going process starting off, but we are hoping to kick up production next week to get through the back orders.”

I haven't seen any comments about Mainstream in the past week or so. I wonder how many have been shipped and received. . . . I'm waiting for mine.

As for the Snubway. . . I've enjoyed mine from the start and it's even better after a few weeks I think. My system has never sounded better than it does this week.

I received two Snubways four days ago. The notification email said Mainstreams were coming off the line last Wednesday and will ship soon.

Mixed bag of results so far. My audio system is on a dedicated line. Wall outlet has a Snubway and SDFB plugged into it. SDFB goes to an outlet box with ZP3, CSP2+, and UFO25 plugged in. Nothing else runs on this circuit. Turntable, sub, two LED lamps are on a separate circuit. Since I don't have any offending components plugged into this circuit I was uncertain if I'd see any benefit from Snubway. Curiosity and fear of missing out outweighed the price. There's definitely a change early on, though it seems I'm getting clearer and somewhat brighter highs. Not ear bleed like brighter highs, more open background that allow more info to be heard perhaps. Again, early in the game for me. I plan to do some tests with Snubway in and out of wall outlet and perhaps moving it to the outlet box to see what happens. After some more hours and use and tests I'll update in a week or so.

The 2nd Snubway is on my TV/theater setup. This consists of flat panel Vizio TV, receiver, AppleTV, Fios receiver, Fios DVR, Harmony remote charger. I would say this system is just a middle of the road entertainment system that's "good enough" to be enjoyable. It's on a circuit that also has overhead LED lights, bathroom fan, the turntable, sub, etc. On first power up to AppleTV main screen the picture is MUCH crisper and clearer. This is a screen I've seen thousands of time, so the difference here is very noticeable. Audio quality seems improved where listening volume does not need to be turned up as much to get to a good listening volume. Audio also seems to be less "forced" or "amplified", this could be due to less noise in the chain. Definitely a win so far for this setup. As with the audio rig, I have a few tests I'd like to try once I get some more hours on the Snubway.

Me as well and a personal phone call from Mark!  We sure do miss him and the knowledge we all gain from each other using his stuff.....His products make my Decware and other equipment sound so much better!

Again, my experience of the Snubway effect was made clearer by taking it out after a few days. Then I could see what I lost, as opposed to what I gained. It was substantial.

My hi-fi stuff is plugged into the same duplex as my TV (unavoidable in my 1952 home). Again, once it settled in, the difference in video image was unmistakeable. It's a cool little unit. I've been putting off getting another one, because I've been making a lot of other changes and I am trying to keep my observations discrete. Once I get the Mainstream and see what that does I may decide to pick up another Subway. There has to be a point of diminishing returns, but so far everything Mark has put out in the last year or so is really working in my system.

Mainstream is here! I have it installed. . .and won't be able to listen for some hours, so it gets to warm up. Looks like the Snubway, the blue "power glow" is nice.

I'm listening now. I hear a bit of improvement. With five Defenders already in the system and a Snubway the improvement is probably not as pronounced as it would be if this were the only power treatment in the system. But I do hear a bit of a sweetened treble and a bit more of the presentation right at the speakers and behind. Already had great instrumental separation, clariy and dynamics. . . .  We'll see if a few more days of use presents any new improvement.

Bloodlemons-  Verafi shipped Mainstream USPS and you should have received a tracking # email if it was shipped.
Lon- agree it is getting harder to determine improvements (i am sure your system much more than mine) but Mainstream just gives it that extra bit of clarity/cleanness for my system.  I am continually amazed these various tweaks keep improving the SQ.  I keep thinking my speakers or components have hit their ceiling.

Hearafter --

I do have an order coming from Verafi today, but it looks like it should be the Sluggos. I'll have to track down my Mainstream tracking number...

Update: my Mainstream order page says it is on the way, but no expected delivery date. I'll just be patient!

Lon- Is the Defender the Shunyata Venom plug you use?  I use 1 High Fidelity Cables  MC-1 Pro sharing a duplex plug with a Puron, and my Panamax Conditioner (for surge protection) with a 3 way splitter.  My snubway, mainstream and ground box share the second duplex plug with 3 -way splitter.  Seems to work well.

Question on Mainstream....I received mine last week, plugged it in to same outlet as my power conditioner.  After a few hours, I checkked it and it was hot to the touch unlike the snubway.  Anyone else having the same experience.  BTW, with all the power updgrades (SFDBs, Equi-Core PC and snubway), I did not see a noticeable difference.

Thanks Lon, mine is definitely not warm.  Might have to contact Damien or Mark

I have mine on a 3 way outlet splitter on the wall duplex.  Top outlet has snubway, mainstream and my system power conditioner.  Bottom outlet has puron, ground box and High-Fidelity Cables MC 1 Pro line conditioner. Works great!

I recently purchased the Snubway and Mainstream combo from Vera-Fi Audio and wanted to share my honest impressions. I'm from Europe, absolutely zero affiliation here.

While my system is already considered high-end, I was curious to see what these devices could bring to the table.

First, I want to commend Mark at Vera-Fi for his excellent support throughout the purchasing process. The transaction was smooth and efficient. Once I received the devices, I plugged them into my Ansuz C3 power distributor and began listening the next day.

I was immediately impressed by the positive changes in the sound. These devices have a more significant impact than simply swapping cables (anywhere in the chain). They seamlessly integrate with your system's existing sound signature, revealing additional details, deepening the bass, and widening the soundstage.

The music feels more impactful and engaging, with reduced harshness and smoother flow. I believe these plugs are ideal for fine-tuning your system and elevating its performance. The price-to-quality ratio is exceptional, probably impossible to beat AFAIK.

I'm highly satisfied with this discovery and am eager to see what Vera-Fi Audio has in store for the future. Thank you to everyone for their comments and to @verafiaudio  for his outstanding support.

So glad you are enjoying this combo in your system. I too find they make a positive impact and at a great price point.

And I too, as well as many here I believe, have enjoyed generous support from Mark. A great person and company to do business with!

So, I received a package from Vera-fi Audio earlier today, expecting a pair of graphene sluggos. Through a slight error, I received the Main Stream I’d ordered, but the Sluggos were not there. No worries, it was all sorted and being handled with Marks exceptional customer service. My expectation was that the Main Stream would be a nice addition, as was the Snubway, but I was really anticipating what the graphene sluggos would bring. Nonetheless, I plugged in the Main Stream and went about my day. This evening I powered up the gear and sat down for a late evening listen. I was not prepared for what I heard.

I’ll preface that other than plug in’s I do not have any power conditioning, regeneration, etc. I have a Snubway in my Shunyata power distribution strip and a Venom Defender between my analog gear and digital on the strip. Now I have the Main Stream in the duplex that my power strip is plugged into. What I experienced this evening was wholly unexpected. I’m not great at audiophile descriptors that don’t sound cliché. Only thing that comes to mind would be some sort of sorcery (yeah, cliché). Yes, the Snubway was a nice addition, but I really feel now that the Main Stream is the companion piece that really makes this all shine, together. You know when you have that special late night session, when it seems that the power is exceptionally clean and there is some special magic happening? This is like that, except that now all of your neighbors power has been shut off and the power to your gear is exceptionally pure and everything is running at optimal capacity. I know that’s not the case, as we are in the middle of a heat wave, so I’m sure there are lots of fans and AC units going with my neighbors. Yet tonight is one of those nights when everything is sounding like magic… To the next level up. I hope this is repeatable. For now, I need to shut down and call it a night. I anticipate a lot of really late nights!

Liquidblue- Congrats on reaching the next plateau within the Audio Game. The levels never seem to end…I found that the Snubway made a more noticeable improvement than the Mainstream or Puron in my system.  All were additive.  I have a second pair ordered for my second home theatre system.  Adding the Graphene Sluggo to my Torii Jr amp was another nice step up and well worth it.  So much so I had to order 2 more 🤪 for my DAC and preamp or my home theatre amp.  We see how it plays out…Appears shipping out orders takes a while probably due to increased demand from the Labor Day sale and all the good press. Worth the minor wait.

Thanks Lon. I received tracking for the sluggos today, so should have them early next week. Looking forward to seeing what they bring!

Hearafter, I agree it’s all additive, but the Snubway was a more subtle change for me. Perhaps the Main Stream was addressing an issue I have with the power coming in or it is that additive effect, which is why I am hearing such results.

Bloodlemons… jealous, that’s funny. I’m probably still doing a good bit of catching up here! 😁 But yes, it’s very satisfying when you hit that next level. And I’m thankful for where I am right now.
