The magic cable is magic is the part that is so dumb.
I think you should buy an ALO cable, butcher it in your attempt to make it balanced, then send it back to them, so they can return it to you without fixing it. That's how we get a good thread going here...
Guess you'll need to figure out how to fix that jena shit (or whatever he's using these days). But whining as you have done here (and there) is some messed up shit. Not how to handle things. Piss off.
Marc, your quote in your sig from Ari has never been more appropriate
Swenson's snubber is not in parallel with the rectifier diodes, but in parallel with the transformer secondary(ies) and is intended to damp transformer ringing.
Have you ever looked at John Swenson's snubber for the transformer
My link
Not sure if this helps or not, different from the normal snubbers used on the diodes.
I'll go back to sleep now
