Nordost QKore1 Grounding Unit

Details
Parent Category: 2018 SoundStage! Network Equipment Buying Guide
Category: (2018) Power Conditioners and Cords

Price: AU$4295

Website: www.nordost.com

Peter said: It offers a high quality solution for reasonable cost and it may well function more predictably and more reliably than many far more expensive aftermarket AC power cords. It is also part of the flexible, modular QRT system which makes for sequential improvement and less risk of “instant karma” product obsolescence.

Read the SoundStage! Australia review.

The gist: No doubt Nordost knows how to clean your power.

Details
Parent Category: 2018 SoundStage! Network Equipment Buying Guide
Category: (2018) Power Conditioners and Cords

Price: $4000

Website: www.shunyata.com

Doug said: If you’ve already done all you can to improve the delivery of power to your audio system -- e.g., by installing dedicated lines -- the Denali D6000/S is one of a very small number of power products I strongly recommend that you try.

Read the SoundStage! Hi-Fi review.

The gist: Made a small but important improvement to the sound of Doug’s system.

Website: www.shunyata.com

Howard said: The Typhon QR improved pretty much every aspect of my system’s performance -- perhaps an unsurprising result for those who are perennially thunderstruck by the relationship between high-quality power and high-quality sound.

Read the SoundStage! Ultra review.

The gist: No downside to cleaning up your power delivery.
