People who have them like them. But then again, people also like all the filters and ground devices they place in their systems. QBase is not a filter from what I read. Just saying.

I was at the Pacific Audio Festival. There was a company pitching a RF device you placed on gear. The salesman was very leading. I told him why I found it to sound "Audiophile", not better. I actually liked it better without. He got mad and walked away.

What worries me about some of these devices is why do they have such a large, audible affect on a well tuned and well powered system. And its usually a very dark background. But did you also loose something to get the lower noise level. A natural stereo and a noiseless, high resolution stereo are very different.
If QBase did any filtering I wouldn't be interested. Nordost does claim it provides star grounding but I'm not sure how many recepticles that applies to. I'm currently using an anitque, a PS Audio Juice Bar 2. It's a basic power strip with good quality recepticles which are bolted to a copper bus bar so no soldering or welding. I'll probably stay with that.

The Juice Bar 2 looks like a very nice power strip. If you wanted to screw with it, you might be able to change the duplex to Furutech NCF. People I trust say that is a very good duplex. I have 1 to install when I get back to my room. Or, leave the Juice Bar alone and enjoy the music.
