Main Stream Master Class was shipped today and I expect to get it on next Monday.
I still keep three Purons in my system.
I will see what happen.

My Snubway and Main Stream Master Class Combo Review
I must admit I am a sucker for tweaks.
I have owned and tried so many. I have always admired those who think outside the “box”. Some of these items were great, some maybe? And then some were just a “swing and a miss”.
I have communicated with Mark through the years and have used several of his products. So, I ventured into the Vera-fi Audio filters that many of you have expressed that you have liked. That is specifically; the Snubway and the Main Stream filters. I’m not sure if that is the appropriate category but I think that is what they do.
When I first received them, I tried them on my Audio dedicated AC line. First listen, the music sounded louder and more in my face. I was concerned that perhaps they were too much for my already “clean” audio system.
I then moved them to my dedicated Video AC line. On this line, I have an AudioQuest 1200 conditioner, an 85” Samsung TV/LED, Oppo 205, Satellite Dish, Apple TV and a 7 channel Outlaw amp. And I also had a Puron filter. When I first viewed this Video system with the filter combo now in use, boy, was I impressed! I watched a few pre-season NFL live games and the image was fantastic! So clean, immersive, with deep contrast, and deep colors. I knew these units would be a permanent part of this system.
So today, again, I tried that combo on my Audio Dedicated line. On this line is my AudioQuest 7000, Lumin X1, and 2 Michi 8 power amps. But now this time I did not get the image overload, perhaps these take some time to burn/break in. I will let these units percolate for a few days before I pass additional comments. But… I did order another set of them.

Good Evening @shkong78 |
Guess I’ve put 72-84 hrs on 3 Vera Fi Main Streams & 2 Snubways. 1 MS & 1 SW plugged into a 1FT 10ga w/ 3 outlets pigtail. That is plugged into the only dedicated circuit & its quad wall outlet. A single Main Stream goes in 1st position of SR power distributor #1. A 2nd rig just like the first is plugged into SR power distributor #2 where the flat panel TV is. After trying several combinations & locations, I felt this configuration offered the biggest return. At this time, I’ m noticing more dynamic bass, deeper soundstage, more focused center image & slightly more detail. The overall presentation has been subtly, but noticeably, elevated to a higher level, resulting in a more emotional connection to the music. I simply feel closer to it!
