A $250 Power Conditioner?

Howard reviews the Puron, which is a small AC power conditioner ($250 USD) "plug" that is distributed by Vera-Fi Audio. It’s said to cleanse the electronic circuit that feeds and audio system. Many tweaks cost a pretty penny for little or no performance increase. Is that the case here?

Thanks for asking - YES, we are ready to go 220/240 up and running - Production timetable to follow We also have shown our SnubWay Product - also working with all line voltages. Viet has made a nice Video here Further information here 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. Attachments WhatsApp Image 2024-01-05 at 09.36.52_724f3d86.jpg 478 KB · Views: 3 WhatsApp Image 2024-01-05 at 09.36.52_c25a5e15.jpg 520.9 KB · Views: 3

In general i think that trying to filter noise from a 60hz power feed is a losing game. If you actually get it done, you limit power. but I have an open mind. Maybe some alchemist will figure it out. Here is the before and after oscilloscope shots of my ps audio P10. I wish every product that is designed to improve power would show these graphs. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOGh-QIsIRawd4M0u-T02rR14DBCQviL7eh3QP5dzaiG-4IbXh5PLwO3GIioVZlEA?key=OGFlUEtYVWxkYjlMTF8wZW1Xa0JjRU5ma3hiMWd3
