The QB10 establishes an entirely new basis on which to build system performance

At its core, the QBASE REFERENCE, like Nordost's other QBASE units, is a passive distribution component that uses star-earth topology to address the noise-inducing, conflicting flow of signal and ground paths within a hifi system. It achieves this by providing ground separation for all the devices it serves, and allowing stray voltages and eddy currents to be referred to one, central ground point. However, that’s just the beginning of what the QBASE REFERENCE has to offer. The QB10 offers numerous Nordost technologies within its mechanically-tuned, extruded aluminum chassis, in order to bring a new realm of power optimization and audio refinement to your reference system.

QBASE Reference features include:

Star Earth Topology

Dual PCB Design, Symmetrical Live/Neutral Topology + Separate Grounding (with Voltage Directionality Technology)

Multiple, internal QSINE and QWAVE devices

Specifically optimized and modified QPOINT Technology

Primary and (optional) Dual Primary Earth Design

Internal, solid core Nordost wiring featuring Micro Mono-Filament Technology

Pre-QKORE Ground Design

Resonance Control Sort Supports

The QBASE Reference is designed to conquer the imperfections and unpredictability of the AC signal, making it the ultimate solution for achieving unprecedented audio purity. Introducing it into your system will allow you to hear your music as it was intended to be experienced.

The QB10 establishes an entirely new basis on which to build system performance, emphatically re-establishing the primacy of the AC supply when it comes to delivering musical potential.

Nordost has always been about correctly establishing a system’s foundations, and the QBASE Reference is a cornerstone in that regard.

A plethora of devices exist to cleanse, scrub, and purify the electricity coming from your wall. More than a few of them prompt audiophiles to swear by or at them. When it comes to the superb QBase Reference, I fall firmly into the former camp.
