Nordost QRT
Nordost's power and grounding line, originally the separate American company Quantum Resonant Technology. Five families covering AC distribution, mains purification, artificial earth, resonance control and linear DC supply, designed to be added in a particular order.
About Nordost QRT
Quick Access
Power and grounding treated as one problem
QRT began as Quantum Resonant Technology, a separate American company, and is now Nordost's power and grounding line. The products are designed as a family rather than as individual upgrades, and the order you add them in matters.
QBASE is the foundation: a distribution block with star earthing and a single primary earth path, so components share one reference point rather than fighting each other. The QX2 and QX4 purifiers sit between the wall and the QBASE, reducing RFI and EMI on the incoming supply, with the QX4 carrying twice the modules of the QX2.
QKORE goes further, creating an artificial earth using Nordost's Mono-Filament wiring and attractor plates to draw stray noise away from the signal path. QPOINT addresses mechanical rather than electrical noise, synchronising the resonances inside nearby components. QSOURCE is a linear supply for anything running on DC: streamers, network switches, NAS drives, and the QPOINTs themselves.
Start with QBASE. Everything else assumes it.

£2,375.00Ex. VATThe QSource is a fanless Linear Power Supply designed specifically for hi-fi audio applications. By providing a stable, clean output of DC power at select voltages, while maintaining extremely low noise levels, the QSource enhances the audio imagery of a sound system by improving sonic articulation, heightening dynamics, and expanding the sound stage.

£300.00Ex. VATNordost’s Premium DC cable uses 2 x 18 AWG, silver-plated, solid-core OFC conductors, which have been arranged in a twisted pair construction. This geometry helps to eliminate noise within the cable. However, to further safeguard from RFI and EMI, the conductors are protected by a braided shield.

Nordost’s DC cable uses 2 x 22 AWG, silver-plated, solid-core OFC conductors, which have been arranged in a twisted pair construction. This geometry helps to eliminate noise within the cable. However, to further safeguard from RFI and EMI, the conductors are protected by a braided shield. Additionally, the QSOURCE DC Cable uses Nordost’s Micro Mono-Filament technology in order to increase signal speeds by introducing an air-dielectric to the cable design.

£4,333.33Ex. VATThe Nordost QNET7 Ethernet Switch is engineered to elevate digital audio performance. With seven specialized ports, nine low-noise power supplies, and noise-reducing architecture, it ensures pristine signal transfer for routers, streamers, servers, and DACs. Pair it with Nordost’s QSOURCE Linear Power Supply and QRT accessories for even greater improvements in clarity, dynamics, and soundstage. The QNET7 is a vital upgrade for unlocking the full potential of streamed and stored music.
