Nordost QRT

QRT – AUDIO ENHANCERS

QRT products are designed to improve the performance of your system. Each product has its own unique objective, whether that be alleviating the impact of poor quality AC or DC power, providing proper grounding, optimizing data transfer for audio applications, or synchronizing electromechanical resonances. Regardless of their function, Nordost QRT products make an immediate and distinct impact on audio systems.  

The effects are cumulative and best heard when QRT products are used as a system. When arranged correctly, the effects include a lower noise floor, increased image depth with tighter focus, wider soundstage, as well as improved overtones, pacing, dynamic range and musical expression.

NORDOST QBASE QB6 MARK III – MAINS DISTRIBUTION BLOCK

“The Nordost QBASE QB6 Mark III builds on the considerable strengths of the units that went before it, bringing significant benefits to timing and the resolution of fine but musically important detail.”

– Steve Dickinson, hi-fi+


NORDOST QBASE REFERENCE (QB 10) AC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

"Nordost has always been about correctly establishing a system's foundations, and the QBASE Reference is a cornerstone in that regard. This is your next upgrade for those already in audio's First-Class lounge...Nordost's QBASE Reference is that important to the sound of your system."

– Alan Sircom, hi-fi+


NORDOST QBASE8 MARK III AC DISTRIBUTION UNIT

"[The QBASE Mark III] is restorative, bringing to light low-level details and mirco-dynamic shifts that have been obscured. The sonic results make themselves known immediately and consistently."

– Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound


NORDOST QNET NETWORK SWITCH REVIEW

With Nordost’s new QNET in place, everything sounds smoother and more fluid; it’s better balanced with less harshness. The leading edges of notes seem to be sharper and have more energy, giving the system greater dynamic expression.

STAR QUALITY – THE NORDOST QB8 MK. III DISTRIBUTION BLOCK

"The latest QB8 should open the window on your recordings wider than ever before, not least because its benefits spread across every component in your system, allowing every single one to work better."

– Roy Gregory, GY8


NORDOST QNET ETHERNET SWITCH 

"[With the QNET] It was clearly a move forward with small improvements across the board, and one major shift. The transformation of soundstage depth was extraordinary, as flat space became deep. The impression of 3D was so great it caused me to question, could this be an artifact?"

– Marshall Nack , Positive Feedback

NORDOST QNET AND QSOURCE – NETWORK SWITCH AND LINEAR POWER SUPPLY

“I can honestly say that the QNet/QSource pairing transported me closer to my ultimate goal, which is to move closer to the source of artistic creation and the artists I love.”

– Jason Victor Serinus, Stereophile

NORDOST QNET NETWORK SWITCH

“Thanks to Nordost’s QNET, network audio just took a leap forward in listenability.”

– Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+

NORDOST QPOINT SYNCHRONIZER

"…the QPOINT locks down the map of the stage and increases the grip, adding body mass and boosting low frequency response. The sound is more pure and becomes easier to read, as if the signal has been cleaned up and extraneous stuff removed."

– Marshall Nack, Positive Feedback

NORDOST QSOURCE LINEAR POWER SUPPLY

"To introduce intangibles like atmosphere and timbral finesse, along with tangibles like deep resolution and transparency out to the corners, you might consider the Nordost QSOURCE… the level of refinement the QSOURCE LPS brought exceeded my expectations; my quest for a Hi-End LPS ends here."

– Marshall Nack, Positive Feedback

NORDOST QPOINT HARMONISERS AND QSOURCE POWER SUPPLY

"The music sounds more ‘right’ and musicians sound more like they are playing together...you tend to notice an increased sense of dynamic freedom to the sound...”

– Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+

NORDOST QKORE AND QKORE WIRE — SYSTEM GROUNDING ACCESSORIES

"I can’t imagine that anyone who’s invested considerable time and energy and money in a high-end system would want to be without the markedly “blacker” backgrounds, increased transparency and detail, more vivid colors, and greater overall veracity delivered by Nordost’s QKore Ground Units...The law of diminishing returns does not apply; the differences were cumulative, and anything but subtle."    

– Jason Victor Serinus, Stereophile

NORDOST QKORE GROUNDING SYSTEM — SILENCE IS GOLDEN

"...the introduction of the Nordost QKore parallel grounding device into my stereo system jolted me out of a comfortable sense of complacency, replacing it with a sense of wonderment at just how much subliminal noise I had taken for granted.  In a variety of small but significant ways, the QKore endowed my stereo with a sense of realism that almost defied credulity.  Put bluntly, it is the most potent power product that I have experienced."

– Jacob Heilbrunn, The Absolute Sound

NORDOST QKORE GROUND UNITS

"...the benefits are immediate, easy to hear, and extremely consistent from system to system, even in systems that may never use another Nordost product. Very highly recommended."

  – Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+

NORDOST QKORE GROUNDING SYSTEM

"While Qkore isn’t necessary for your audio system to function, it is essential for hearing it at its absolute best. "

– Marc Mickelson, The Audio Beat
