SnubWay TM is an advanced parallel mains noise filter utilizing 4 discrete LRC filters tuned to absorb high frequency noise from switch mode power supplies (SMPS) and other sources in the 10kHz to 2MHz frequency range. Today’s homes have power lines that are constantly polluted with dirty pulse switching noises from SMPS that are so ubiquitous in modern homes. From our cell phone chargers to the power supplies for LED lamps and even our laptop computer supplies. They all utilize high speed switching in the 100kHz to 1 MHz range, and they often leak noise back into the house AC mains.

The SnubWay mains noise filter has multiple LRC tuned resonant snubbers to absorb this unwanted noisy energy from SMPS’s over a broad frequency range. The LRC filters utilize nano-graphite pulse absorbers to provide a broader frequency absorption band and high quality polyethylene film capacitors combined with precision wound copper coil inductors. The discrete filters are computer tuned and designed for optimal performance. The filters are arranged in parallel to absorb a broad range of sinusoidal and transient pulse noise sources. The LRC filters are arranged on separate PCB assemblies stacked and connected in parallel using solid 14 gauge copper wire busses. All of this is encased in a state of the art aluminum housing and utilizes custom made premium Viborg plug housing with solid copper prongs and hardware.

To use SnubWay, simply plug it into a power outlet located as close to your equipment that you want to have filtering achieved. For instance, a power outlet strip. Insert SnubWay into the first outlet position and your audio equipment after SnubWay. As its name implies, SnubWay provides multiple snubbers coming together in one spot - similar to a busy subway train station interchange where multiple train lines connect. The difference here is that the different “noise trains” come to the SnubWay, but they don’t leave! SnubWay is designed to reduce and absorb SMPS noise in the mains by up to 28dB (this can vary and is dependent on customer specific equipment and house wiring arrangement and condition).

Remarkable

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

Good

I just received my SnubWay this Wednesday afternoon. I immediately plugged it into my TV Circuit to get some break-in hours, and the picture became clearer! I'll plug it into my audio circuit this evening after a few chores, I believe I'll purchase a 2nd one for the TV. I'll let you know my further thoughts, Wonderful products! Thank you for your products and reasonable price. John Kwinn [****]

An Excellent Tweak

As a card carrying tweak skeptic, I can tell you that the Snubway is the real deal. Period. End of story.

The first revelation was astonishment at how much noise and hash I have on my lines. Holy smokes! There is most definitely a palpable lowering of the noise floor here and, with that, an increase in dimensionality (front to back), width of soundstage, and clarity. Micro-details become manifest to the point where what was formerly a hint of a triangle is now heard fully. Also, by lowering the noise floor so dramatically, it has become necessary to lower the volume from my standard setting by approximately 3 dB.

To me, all of that is a substantial improvement. Of course, I am building in a certain allowance for the placebo effect, but even with that factored in, the Snubway plainly works, and it does so very well. Again, as a tweak skeptic, I typically am wary of "magic in a box" items. However, after having read the online posts by the Snubway’s inventor, who displays its inner workings for all to see and explains in detail how it works (without using a bunch of unintelligible gobbledygook), I know first-hand that this product is legit. Certainly, I cannot ignore what my ears are telling me.

There’s a 30-day, no questions asked money back guarantee on the Snubway, including return postage. So, there’s absolutely no downside risk. You know, most of us take great pains to assemble our systems, but many ignore power issues. I confess to have been remiss in that regard, but what a great surprise and delight to have addressed the power issue in such a substantial and reasonably priced way. Buy the Snubway now, and thank me later.
