Main Stream, from Vera-fi Audio


Their newest product, called “Main Stream” might be their most powerful yet.  It is a plug-in filter that increases the blackness of one’s system by eliminating interference from other sources in your house.  This description is admittedly inadequate, and many products talk about blackness in attempts to get closer to sounds captured in real space in which they were made.  I can’t think of any other product that improves recorded music as dramatically as Main Stream.  If you have other Vera-fi products, think of Main Stream as laying the foundation for their many contributions.  An amazing accomplishment, in my opinion, that must be tried, to be believed.

rib61,

Thanks.

Is that burn in time for the Mainstream unit to develop, or is it the time to work conditioning through the system AC.

 I have had the Mainstreams for a while now. Prior to the Mainstreams arrival I put the two Puron filters in the first position on my Audience Adept Response r12 conditioner.

   One Mainstream went into the wall receptacle that the Audience conditioner is plugged into and the other mainstream went into the receptacle my amp is plugged into. Prior to getting the Mainstreams I thought my noise floor was as good as it gets , I was wrong on that. 

  The Mainstreams have added resolution and clarity better than before. I was very surprised.  You can Cleary hear more detail in notes fading out , etc as well as everywhere else. I always use Mobile Fidelity - Beck Sea Change for critical evaluation.  There's so much going on in the soundstage. Notes within the soundstage clearly stand out within their own space more. 

  I would totally agree with Ozzy's comment in his review of a more defined center image and real. I must say it was a pleasure talking to Mark again. I like your enthusiasm. 

  There is a 30 trial period , if you are not satisfied simply return them. Mine are staying put. For the increased resolution,  clarity, soundstaging etc, the Mainstream is a bargain for what attributes it will bring to your system.

Many thanks here for the fine comments.

Main Stream and SnubWay are good examples of what CAN BE DONE re Noise for reasonable dollars

My favorite part is your system remains as it is. These plug ins do not change the nature of your systems sonic signature per say... They do their job re Noise which yields something much greater

Thanks again

Mark
