After receiving over half a dozen reviews in little over a year, Nordost\u2019s QKORE Grounding Units<\/a> continue to impress industry insiders, reviewers, and consumers alike. The most recent QKORE evangelist is Stereophile<\/a>\u2019s Jason Victor Serinus. In his article, published in the January issue of Stereophile, Jason was blown away by the improvements gained by introducing QKORE Grounding Units to his system. According to Jason, the noticeably widened soundstage, increased detail, and natural quality of decay that he found while using the QKORE validates the monetary expense and time commitment that audiophiles expend chasing the idyllic listening experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t imagine that anyone who\u2019s invested considerable time and energy and money in a high-end system would want to be without the markedly ‘blacker’ backgrounds, increased transparency and detail, more vivid colors, and greater overall veracity delivered by Nordost\u2019s QKore Ground Units\u2026The law of diminishing returns does not apply; the differences were cumulative, and anything but subtle.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u2014Jason Victor Serinus<\/p>\n
