Exceptional Audio - High End Performance - Undeniable Value
Tom Gibbs - Vera Link
"Well, the good news is shockingly that the Vera-Link amps will drive the LRS+ without any issues, at near-reference levels, and with a surprising level of musicality." "You'll have to take my word for it -- the $199 Vera-Links will drive just about anything to near-reference sound levels -- and sound shockingly good while doing it!"
Jeff - Tone Audio
"Other than the fact that these amplifiers are very musical, play loud without distortion, and have much less grunge than you would ever expect from a $200 pair of monoblocks (albeit Barbie Dream House sized monoblocks) there’s not much more to tell. They sound great, are unobtrusive, and offer no-fuss, no muss setup." "The most fun you can have for $199!"
Tom Gibbs - SDFB w/ Graphene Sluggo
"The use of Graphene in the latest iteration of Vera-Fi Audio's new Sluggo for the Swiss Digital Fuse Box allows for a substantial leap forward in overall performance."
Hifi Audio Guru
I’ll admit to a bit of skepticism when I was approached with this product, but the Swiss Digital FUSE BOX delivered on its promises and then some. I’ve always said that in an amplifier, power supply is everything, this was clear going all the way back to early Hi-Fi when we would build huge outboard power supplies as performance mods. With modern audio products trying to run more efficiently it only makes sense that the limiting factor is the amount of power going into the power supply, and as noted above the weakest link in the power chain is the fuse.
Positive Feedback - Vanguard Scout
"The Vanguard Scout has the potential to be a true world-beater, and if you're willing to give them the necessary break-in time and exercise careful amplifier matching for a high-end system implementation, I think you'll be every bit as impressed as I am. And in my system in tandem with the Caldera 10 subwoofer—which they blend seamlessly with—the combination easily took my KLH Model Five loudspeakers ($2500 MSRP) to task. After the fully broken-in Scout/Caldera combo took the stage, I never felt I was missing anything the Model Five brought to the table."
Let customers speak for us
from 50 reviewsThere is much more information across the the entire frequency range, whether it is bass, midrange or treble. It seems as if a layer between myself and the the source had disappeared, bringing a better level of transparency in the room. In addition, the sound stage has expanded both horizontally and vertically. Voices are clearer and more understandable. Taking into account the Quality/Price ratio, it is without a doubt the best change I have made to my equipment.

My review is with the Master Class in conjunction with the Snubway (which specializes in switching power supply noise elimination). I found that with my system the two Vera-fi units together are a synergistic combination producing a much better sound than either by itself.
AC power noise has long been a major annoyance with my system, and now with two such pairs of Vera-fi plug-ins in my system plugged in near the system's power distribution box, the system has acquired an amazingly improved clarity and transparency and 3-dimensional holograhic imaging/depth of soundfield that seems to be associated with a greatly reduced noise level, a
much "blacker" background.
Overall I am much impressed with the units and wouldn't listen to my system without them.
Just received my SnubWay. Plugged it into my 20amp wall socket and moved my Puron to my AudioQuest power conditioner. UNBELIEVABLE right out the box. Soundstage and clearity immediately and it can only get better with time. A must have for the price Also Mark is an absolute pleasure to work with. You can not go wrong. Try it and you will see
I put some Mad Audio Science graphene on the golden sluggo. Than I started listening. Details from deep in the soundstage were clearly audible, clearer than before. Many times it seemed that the recorded performances were better rehearsed and that the musicians were more together.
Also I hear more from the acoustics of the space where the music was recorded. Really nice!
The Main Stream is the missing piece of the audio puzzle. The Snubway works great on its own, but both of them working in tandem have raised the listening experience to an entirely new level.
In particular, micro-detail now is off-the-charts as I am hearing things on very familiar recordings that apparently had been blocked due to "dirty" electrical lines. We all likely have heard about "blacker backgrounds," but I've experienced that with these products first-hand as I now have a prior point of reference.
I don't think that folks realize the large degree of hash and other noise residing on their electrical lines, particularly where the line isn't a dedicated one. We spend so much time and money on components, but don't give much, if any, attention to power concerns. That may be due to ignorance or the ridiculous cost of many "audiophile" power conditioners, many of which have a deleterious effect on sound quality. These products are the antithesis of that general reality.
You know how you can have a great listening session one day and a not so great one the next? I think that inconsistency is due to what's going on at any particular time with the amount of line noise. Nights are usually better because there's less equipment operating. Well, that's not the case with the Snubway and Main Stream. So far, my listening sessions have been consistently good and satisfying with both of them in the system.
To me, the Snubway and Main Stream, when combined, are the equivalent of a huge component upgrade at a very reasonable price. I really am floored by these little wonders, and am getting so much more from my system than I did before. It's really astounding.
Does exactly what it is supposed to do I have 60hrs of burn in: better transparency more detail all that without affecting the sound really cleaned up that dirty electrical.
I got the mainstream and snubway together as recommended by Mark. After plugging them both into my power conditioner, music has never been more clear and it made my power conditioners feel like they weren’t doing their job. Clarity, separation, impact, sound stage went up a huge notch, so much so that these products should deserve more attention. They provided benefits even thousands of dollars of cables didn’t do for my system, and they weren’t fully broken in yet. You could also use multiple conditioners and their effects can stack giving an extremely black background for your music. I never realized that there was so much dirty power in my house, so I had to order another because of how good it was. Not to mention, Mark was always there for me when I needed help and answered all my questions making the order process extremely positive compared to other bigger companies. Don’t be afraid to reach out to Mark, this guy is truly amazing and very knowledgeable. Shipping times were longer than expected but well worth the wait, they are working as hard as they can. Definitely a returning customer, thank you for such a joyful experience and cheers to good sound for everyone.
This company has the best customer service I’ve ever encountered. I love the speakers
At this price point, I doubt if you'll ever find another subwoofer that can compete with it. The base is clear sharp and full not muddy.
One disclaimer, I purchased them when Vera-fi had $100 off everything on their website. So I only paid for shipping costs. However, even if I had paid full price, they still would be a bargain. The stands are very sturdy with the four columns supporting the top plate, and the rubber washers decoupling the stand from the base is a nice touch as well being visually appealing. The top plate and the base having a leather-like appearance is classy too. With the new stands, using them for my left and right channel speakers seem to make the sound more smooth and focused. Overall, I'm very pleased with their appearance and how they improved my home theater system. Good job! Thanks, Charles.
Replaced a QSA Yellow fuse with a SDFB and Extreme piggy cable in my Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 600 amplifier. It really needs 100+ hours to burn in and open up, but right now the SQ has significantly improved; bigger stage, more depth, tighter and better controlled base, more natural voices and instruments, and the last little bit of sharpness in some female high pitched voices is gone. Overall a very worthwhile upgrade. I will get SDFBs for my Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE dac and Arcam AVR30 receiver as well, as soon as there are more European Schuko options for the SDFB and piggy cables.
My system: Wharfedale Elysian 2 speakers (with Stack Audio Auva 100 absorbers), Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 600 amplifier (with Stack Audio Auva EQ), Holo Audio Spring 3 KTE DAC (with Stack Audio Auva EQ), REL S/510 subwoofer, Mad Scientist Black Magic 4-core speaker cables, Triade Flow reference 808 XLR cables, Puritan Audio Labs PSM156 Net filter, Cisco Meraki MS220-8P switch Audiophool full upgrade + power supply, Magna Hifi Mano Ultra MK3 streamer, Networks Acoustics ENO2 ethernet filter and ethernet cables, Mad Scientist Black Magic network cable, Power cords; Ansuz Acoustics Mainz/Furutech PowerFlux/Mad Scientist Nitro Nano.
Plugged the unit into the #1 slot of a Belkin surge protecter. Stereo, LCD and Blue Ray all downstream of it. TV picture was notable next day. Waited 4 days for music. Listening to music was like washing your windows, clearly better, hard to define, but bass guitar and drum kick was amazing in that it was more present without becoming overpowering….perfect….
Music grabs and holds the listener's attention much more aggressively. It's unmistakably more lively, energetic, and exciting with a deeper soundstage and a better focused image. Dynamic peaks are more crisp and punchier. Bass has a more visceral kick. Percussion is more explosive. Upgrading the copper Sluggo to graphene extends these qualities further - especially in the high frequencies.
Surprisingly, old jazz recordings from the 1930's and 1940's sound like they were recorded more recently with more modern equipment.
Adding Puron, Snubway AND Main Stream ALL contributed to my VANISHED noise floor!
Long delivery period but well worth the wait. It takes longer than 2 days to fully break in. It continually gets better every day. I've had it in the system for 4 days. I did hear the difference right away when I plugged it in. I have 6 other line conditioners like this. While I like the others this seems to be my favorite for now. Impact has been turned up a notch. It does everything that you say it will do but for me there is a refinement & realism to the music that I like best. Makes listening much more enjoyable. Thank you for developing this.
Accepting Preorders!
Coming soon, the Main Stream AC line conditioner! While SnubWay concentrates on SMPS noise on the line, Main Stream's parallel filters focus on frequencies within the audible frequency spectrum to provide inky black backgrounds and ensure your equipment is performing at it's best. Main Stream is a plug in Conditioner to provide the benefits of AC line conditioning, without impeding current flow.
