SnubWay Question Thread

Happy New Year

For those interested - the 1st of three Snubber Products is ready for full scale production - SnubWay works really well with Puron, each doing their job in good order. 

Viet made a tidy little video to explain the product a bit and make a demo - this is from his What’s On The Bench Videos

We tested ParaSnub (aka SnubWay) with a simulated SMPS noise source that has an 1kohm impedance. This is to simulate a typical SMPS transformer impedance between the high frequency generated voltage and the line (mains) that it is connected to. We inject about 5Vpp 400kHz, 100kHz and 60kHz noise using a function generator and get between -30dB to -33dB reduction in noise (about 100mV to 150mVpp). This is a significant amount of noise reduction and can really help clean up the SMPS noise contamination in our power outlet strip. The level of reduction may vary, and will depend on your particular SMPS noise source impedance, your equipment, and your particular house wiring, etc.

Yeah the Snubway was cold to the touch after being plugged in for hours.

So far I have it on the AV system and see/hear improvements. Will get around to the audio system soon!

I was eagerly awaiting my Snubway but did not realise i’m in the next batch. not the first 100.

I have many (and I mean many) of these plug in parallel filters, but never one that purports to target just the SMPS noise. It’s a great idea.

Due to lack of dedicated listening room my stereo shares duties with an OLED tv and an Xbox. Both those devices will be emitting SMPS noise even in standby mode.

Is there supposed to be a light on the underside of the Snubway like the Mainstream?

And does the Snubway get warm at all?

Snubway deals with high frequency noise generated by SMPS and tv’s etc while Main Stream filters noise in the audio band. Both compliment one another.
