Great replacement for the Swiss Digital Fuse Box! And the dip switches allow the user to customize it for amperage and fuse type (slo-blo or fast acting) for compatibility with a variety of devices. You're not limited to a single device, and that frees you to experiment with other equipment, easily helping you decide if you need additional Infinity Fuse units. The only thing necessary for you to do prior to placing your order is to confirm the fuse dimensions and choose the Sluggo (that replaces the fuse) or an upgraded version.

I’m using my new subwoofer on a nice 2.1 system with some ELAC bookshelves. The ELACs sound great and the sub really rounds out the sound.

Super happy.

I am very pleased with this sub. I found a pair of AR8B speakers that I refoamed that ended up being very musical with a surprising soundstage but they lacked a bit of bass. This little sub turned out to be the perfect fit. I truely can't believe the sound I have coming from what has turned out to be a $240.00 investment for speakers and sub!! Could not be happier.

These are very musical subs for audiophiles at a fraction of the price than the competition. Vera-fi customer support (Mark Schifter) is top notch. I do not believe there is any subwoofer pair in the approximately 800 dollar price range that can beat these subs for your hifi system.

There are a couple of qualities of these subwoofers that I would like to comment on favorably. First, the coverage of the midbass frequencies, and in fact the musicality of the subwoofers, is remarkable for the price. In my room, the frequencies between 65 and 125 are suppressed by the room. The Caldara subwoofers compensate for this very nicely. Second, the visual appearance of the units is very nice.

Wow, I miss the ultra low frequencies that my old but no longer functional REL subwoofers provided, my music room does not really allow for reproduction of the frequencies between 20 and 40 Hz. The trade-off of musicality is therefore significant compensation.
I appreciated Mark’s generous offer to substitute the Caldera for the smaller model which was out of stock. If I can make one suggestion for future Caldera models, it would be to have speaker level inputs in addition to the RCA inputs.

3 New Products: My Review:

3 New Products: My Review: The NEW Ver-Fi: Products:

1. Line Noise Black Hole (LNBH),

2. Snub Station Zero (SSZ),

3. Infinity Fuse.

Mark asked me if I would like to try a few of his new products, and as a big time Audiophile tweaker (however my wife would describe me as a nut) I couldn’t resist.

In this review I will try to show that I have tried these units everyway possible within my system (see my profile) to remove any doubts as to how they performed.

First off, using the new Infinity Fuse with a Graphene slug into my Lumin X1 was instant success. This one unit contributed to a much wider soundstage and just a general upgrade in overall sound quality. So, this item will remain, no matter how the rest of the Veri-Fi equipment performs. BTW, it replaced a Synergistic Research Master Fuse.

Then I tried the LNBH and SSZ in my “computer/streaming room”. This room includes my Modem/Router, Etherregen, AfterDark clock, AfterDark linear power supply, and some other sundry items (printer etc.). I let the system stream music for a few days, and after that time, honestly, I could not hear any additional sonic improvement or change of any sort.

So, the next day I relocated the LNBH and SSZ into my audio system. I think I read that these items should be used in Tandem. I am using an AQ Dragon source power cord (from my AQ Niagara 7000 power conditioner) that was plugged directly into my Lumin X1 but now I plugged it into the LNBH and with a short DIY jumper power cord from that unit into the SSZ. And since the Infinity Fuse unit was a definite keeper, I also added an additional short jumper DIY AC cord to plug it into the Lumin X1. I should add that the AC input and outlets are on opposite ends of the devices which made daisy chaining them difficult.

When I played the system with familiar tunes it seemed that the soundstage was pushed way back, kinda sounded like into a tunnel and not as lively as I remembered the tunes before.

So, for “Shts & Giggles” I removed the Veri-Fi previous versions of the “Snubway & Mainstream” devices from the Audio system. (My thinking was perhaps there is too much filtering of the same type). And sure enough, the liveliness returned, so make note of this: the original Snubway and Mainstream do not mesh well with these new products.

Question:

Should I plug all of this directly into the AC wall outlet instead of the AQ Niagara power conditioner 7000?

To answer that question, I then went ahead and plugged the daisy chained trio directly into the dedicated wall outlet. And at first listen, I thought, hmm not bad. But after several back-and-forth trials, I decided that having these units plugged into the AQ 7000 is better. Perhaps different power conditioners may react differently. So, experiment is the word.

After a week of listening to the trio as above, the last and final test would be to return to the beginning, that is; removing the LNBH and SSZ from the system. Note: I have already determined that the Infinity/graphene fuse was a definite instant plus, so it will always remain.

Conclusion:

Well first, I can conclude that that a week of burn/breakin was helpful, as it does for most new equipment, and it may improve further with more use. Then, I have found in the past that using a new item for a period of time, that “new” sound, becomes the standard, (you get used to it) and only after removing it can it be judged on the effectiveness, (if any) good or bad. Do I miss it?

So, after a week of playing my favorite tunes with the LNBH and SSZ devices connected, I then disconnected them and went back to my original set up, (but, again with the Infinity Fuse and the Graphene slug still installed).

At first, I thought the midrange was richer but as I continued listening, I began to realize that the music had lost that “sparkle”. By that I mean, the feeling of extreme openness with images clean and deep with a liveliness that I guess I would say, it no longer sounded “live”.

I then re-connected the LNBH and SSZ devices and ahh, that very open sound returned.

The Downside?

Several short power cord jumpers are needed and as mentioned, daisy chaining them can be difficult.

Sound Quality Wise?

So, my conclusion is that, yes, these devices are a Definite Plus and with whatever is inside them, improved the sound for this old Audiophile. Your music will be released into your room and sparkle the soundstage, enjoy the new performance!

Wow! My system has never sounded better! Highly Recommended!

BTW, my wife still thinks I’m nuts…

All my purchases have been great. Great company.

Wonderful purchase. My system sounds great.

I replaced a more expensive piece from a well-known audio manufacturer and got a noticeable improvement. Job well done!

Wow - I honestly wasn't sure if I was even a "bass guy" before purchasing 2x Caldera 12"s, and my Wharfedale Linton's even had already solid bass response, but in the endless quest for the "wow" factor, I was pointed towards Vera-Fi's subwoofer offerings.

Let me just say, I am absolutely blown away. I can't stop listening to my system -- it just sounds too good. I also have not experienced such remarkably good customer service from a company in quite some time. Thank you to Mark and the team for making such a reasonably priced product that punches far into much higher price points.

Is very good. Excelent.

The Line Noise BlackHole (LNBH) sets the new industry standard for AC line noise elimination. In both my systems, the LNBH in combination with the Snub Station Zero easily bested the AudioQuest Niagara equipment that occupied both systems. If you can manage with a combined amperage total of less than 10 amps (that's much easier than most might imagine), these devices will shock you with the goodness they bring to your listening sessions. Yes, they eliminate AC-borne line noise, but the opens an entirely new listening experience, with incredible transparency and clarity, whether you listen to analog or digital sources. Very highly recommended, and maybe the most important product launch from Vera-Fi Audio yet!

For the first time, I'm hearing big band jazz and orchestral fortissimos without the congestion I thought I'd never get rid of! The LNBH works well teamed up with the SDFB on transient dynamic peaks. As the peaks strike, the SDFB lets them punch through loud and clear. As the peaks fall back down, the LNBH allows subtle, previously unheard sounds to emerge from the silence. When the music pauses abruptly, the silence that follows is more startling than before. Metallic percussion is where the improvement is most noticeable - it's smoother, with a rich resonant ring, and lighter, more delicate overtones. It's amazing how much closer you get to the music when that little bit of noise is no longer there...
