I did two of these they were almost identical

I didn't have that resistor and dropped in a 15R in the Quasi and it was fine there, so I'm using 15R nest size up was 18R and it looked to flat on the initial ring.

Transformers measured in various Hafler amps using standard capacitor values:
- Hafler XL-280: Dual secondaries each with 2 leads, (high current and low current) giving DC rails of +/- 65VDC and 75 VDC respectively. (All secondaries measured approximately the same.)
Cx = 0.01 uF
Cs = 0.15 uF
Rs = 12 Ω
Cs = 0.15 uF
Rs = 12 Ω
- Hafler DH-500: Single secondary with CT yielding DC rails +/-90 VDC
Cx = 0.01 uF
Cs = 0.15 uF
Rs = 65 Ω
Cs = 0.15 uF
Rs = 65 Ω
- Hafler DH-200: Single secondary with CT yielding DC rails +/-60 VDC
Cx = 0.01 uF
Cs = 0.15 uF
Rs = 39 Ω
Cs = 0.15 uF
Rs = 39 Ω

TTSAS0100 - SUPREME AUDIO grade V2-
100VA
Input voltage : 220/230v
Output voltage: 20 V(only one secondary)
Cx=10 nF
Cs=150 nF
R= 36.95 Ω...but after 2/3 hours this value was 34.90 Ω

Hope the attached table will also be of use.

Yes and no, good catch btw. The model is correct, however it should read 300VA not 400VA.
In other words:

- Hafler P-230: Single secondary with CT yielding DC rails +/-65 VDC
Cx = 0.01 uF
Cs = 0.15 uF
Rs = 29 Ω
(Both sides measured the same R, see below)
Note: I'm not positive this is the same type of transformer used in DH-220, but I think it likely is.

- Hafler DH-200: Single secondary with CT yielding DC rails +/-60 VDC (I measured 3 different Hafler DH-200 amps, they all yielded similar results)
Cx = 0.01 uF
Cs = 0.15 uF
Rs = 35 Ω
Note: I consistently obtained a slightly different result for R when I measured the 2nd secondary (against CT) vs. the 1st secondary. The results for each were 40 Ω vs. 28 Ω. So I think 35 Ω is an OK value for either side.

In the spirit of DIY, using what I have, the best result I could get was two parallel 26R resisters, which actually measured 13.7R in practice.

Schotty?
Hi Team.
Are all these snubber value results based on using a schotty diod rectifier solution or can the same snubber numbers be used if using a standard bridge rectifier?

The results posted here were all generated with the transformer secondary winding under test connected to the Quasimodo or Cheapomodo test jigs, while all other primary and secondary windings were shorted. A rectifier of any kind was not involved as the test jig itself provides the ringing stimulus.
There's a separate thread detailing the test jig function and a paper about theory of the topic as well as the snubber optimisation method.

Here are my measurements with the Quasimodo SMD. I confirmed it was working correctly using a measured 2.98 mH inductor. Sorry for the images of the results, the scope is old and I couldn't get the capture software to work yet.
