Nordost QRT QBASE QB8-MKII 20A

Providing excellent solutions for treating AC power and yielding cleaner, clearer, more natural sound, the eight-outlet Quantum QB8 QBASE MkII power conditioner is substantially upgraded over the original version and delivers even better performance. Now outfitted with enhanced connectors for increased connectivity, customized frame-plate housing for finer mechanical stability, a higher-quality PC board that accommodate higher currents, a dedicated installed fuse for over-current protection, and four updated feet that allow for greater contact surface and a wider stance. With QB8 QBASE MkII, you'll experience a lower noise floor, heightened imaging, wider and deeper soundstages, sharper details, superior pacing, and outstanding dynamics.

QB8 MkII units provide all of the elements and benefits of the original QBASE with several marked improvements:

• Connectors: The IEC input and the US (NEMA) connectors are upgraded to new, more durable connectors that maintain better connectivity after extended use.
• Frame Plate: A customized “frame plate” housing for the connectors improves the mechanical stability.
• PC Board: Enhanced PC boards are upgraded to include heavier traces, designed to accommodate higher currents.
• Dedicated Fuse: An installed dedicated fuse provides overcurrent protection of the source circuit and prevents system damage caused by overheating.
• Feet: Four upgraded fixed stabilizing feet have greater contact surface and a wider stance to provide stability on hard surfaces.
