Reviews from publications around the world describe the undeniable benefits that the QKORE brings to sound systems. The latest such review comes from Le Magazine Son &amp; Image, where author Michel Leroux explains his experience with the QKORE:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With either the QKORE1 or QKORE3 unit in place, listening becomes engaging. There is better precision and fluidity along with a less veiled sound. A significant improvement of the sound and musical rendering emerges, an unexpected but very real effect. The results are immediate&#8230;Clarity improves across the board, very noticeable in instrumental harmonics. Vocal presence is improved, along with overall musicality from the audio system. Dynamic contrast is heightened, and a more natural and coherent rendering of sound and musical content permeates the listening room.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Michel\u2019s review, <a href=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/images\/review-images\/review-pdf\/Nordost%20Qkore_EN[1].pdf\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Benefits of Parallel Grounding&#8221;<\/a>, is now available to read on the Nordost website(in both <a href=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/images\/review-images\/review-pdf\/Nordost%20Qkore_EN[1].pdf\" target=\"_blank\">English<\/a>, as well as its original <a href=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/images\/review-images\/review-pdf\/Nordost%20Qkore_FR.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">French<\/a> text).<\/p>\n<p>You can find more great Nordost reviews on our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nordost.com\/reviews.php?utm_campaign=Product%20Reviews&amp;utm_source=hs_email&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9LO7L4TjMZgEgFEhfxHroCwmhWI4r_goAhPtBoiCVKDrVi0rqI6A_b8JhpRhlgcbCHPCI9\">Reviews Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nordost\u2019s QKORE has\u00a0left a big impression on the hifi audio market, since the ground units were first released in May of 2017.
