Nordost QBASE Supreme Reference AC Distribution Unit
My name is Terry, and I’m the owner of GC HiFi, based in Arundel on the Gold Coast. Hi-fi isn’t just my business — it’s my hobby and passion. I offer private, by-appointment demos in a relaxed environment. Let’s have a chat — 0418 691 294
We are pleased to announce that we have here at GC HiFi to demonstrate a range of exceptional Nordost power and grounding components including the Qbase 4 and 8 16amp units, the QKore-6, QSine, QWave, QSource Linear PSU, QPoint Resonance Syncroniser, also the QNet along with the various stands and the three levels of QKone anti-vibration cones. To put things in perspective, we don't just have these to demonstrate we use them daily in the various systems we have set up here. Why? simply because all of these Nordost products greatly add to the sound quality of any Hifi system we have ever played here since becoming a Nordost dealer and that is in every price range.
I'm more than happy to demonstrate the benefits of any of these components and how they do increase ones listening pleasure. Please call me on 0418 691 294 to discuss what each of the Nordost components adds and if your local to make an appointment to come and have a private listening session. ... cheers Terry

The QBASE Supreme Reference represents the natural and uncompromised evolution of Nordost’s power distribution philosophy, engineered for reference systems where unrestricted current delivery, absolute transparency, and musical realism are non-negotiable.
For the first time in a QRT product, the QBASE SR is wired exclusively with Nordost’s Odin 2 cabling. Celebrated for its effortless current transfer, ultra-low noise characteristics, and natural musical presentation, Odin 2 elevates the QBASE SR far beyond conventional power distribution. The result is greater resolution, enhanced dimensionality, faster transient response, lower noise, and a profound sense of realism, control, and musical engagement.
Like all Nordost AC distribution products, the QBASE SR has a passive design, utilizing star-earth topology to eliminate the noise-inducing interaction of signal and ground paths by directing stray voltages and eddy currents to a single, centralized Primary Earth.
Housed within its mechanically-tuned chassis, the QBASE SR integrates proprietary QRT technologies, including AC-optimized QPOINT circuitry and multiple independently activated QSINE and QWAVE devices, allowing its performance to be tailored to both system requirements and listener preference.
Newly engineered high-current features include a 32A PowerCon input and dual 32A PowerCon outputs. These dedicated high-current outputs are designed to serve the most demanding amplifiers and reference components without restriction, while eight standard outputs offer exceptional flexibility for world-class installations worldwide.
