Nordost QB8

I would second the advice about the QX4 or QX2. I can not think of any "tweak" that was more beneficial to my system, in terms of lowering the noise floor, increased dynamics. I had 2 and just sold one. Two are better than one, but not much. A single QX4 is a no brainer IMHO.

I feel the QV2 works well too, I havent compared the benefits of QV2 to QX4. If anyone has, I would be greatful for any observations

"There is a big difference if you ground QB4 or QB8. I use Acoustic Revives ground conditioner rgc-24. I have also heard nice results using the grounding equipment from Entreq."

How would you describe this difference Fitzo?

Fitzo, did you find the order in which you plug in your equipment into the QB8 or QB4 made a difference?

I found that my equipment sounds better with the Meridian MS600 plugged in on the opposite side of the primary earth socket than my amp and CD player/DAC. Not sure if it's a matter of better power noise rejection of my pre-amp vs. other components in rejecting noise from the MS600 switching power supply of if the MS600 is sensitive to the big power draw from my amp. Or other reasons? I get better soundstage depth and detail with the current configuration.

Fitzo,

I managed to find a used Acoustic Revives RGC-24 and look forward to sharing experiences when I receive it.

Camb,

In my system, which consists of Nordost, McIntosh and Sonus Faber, I would explain the improvement by saying that most things in the soundstage got better. Better presence, detail and dynamics. A bit like a component changing from midfi to high end. A very effective tweek indeed.

I havent heard any mayor diffrent when plugging my equipment in diffrent order.

Camb, do try diffrent feet under your Qb4/8. I have a custom build massive platform with spikes. Works well.
