Nordost QBase QRT QB4 AC Distribution THIS ITEM HAS US POWER POINTS. The essence of the QBASE-Mark II concept is a straight-line AC distribution path, combined with star-earthed topology for connection to a clean ground. By eliminating any form of in-line filtering or active circuitry we maintain the lowest possible AC supply impedance, while a tiny lift in the earth impedance of all but one of the output sockets routes the signal grounds directly to the center of the star and the clean earth terminal. Clearly identified on the casework, this Primary Earth socket is at the center of your sys
Condition is unknown, so I’d treat A$1,000 as fair-to-strong rather than a slam-dunk bargain. New QBASE 4 pricing has sat around A$1,400 equivalent at retail, and used examples of the QB4 Mark II have recently shown up around A$1,300–A$1,700 equivalent, so this asking price is roughly in the lower half of the market and not out of line.
It’s a worthwhile buy if you want a serious mains distribution block that’s well regarded for keeping a system’s presentation clean, stable, and quietly “sorted” rather than flashy. The upside is best when the unit is complete, undamaged, and comes from a careful owner, since these are more about build integrity and intact sockets than wear-and-tear drama. At this price, I’d mainly verify the exact version, socket standard, and that all outlets and the chassis are in tidy shape.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Nordost, an American high-end audio brand, traces its origins to 1991 when it was founded in Massachusetts, just outside Boston. From the outset, the company committed to designing, engineering, and manufacturing all products exclusively in the United States, drawing on aerospace-derived technologies like conductor solutions to pioneer its signature flat cable geometry. This Northeast-rooted heritage—reflected even in the brand's name, meaning "northeast" in Scandinavian languages—has defined Nordost as a beacon of innovation in signal preservation for over three decades.
The brand specializes in premium hi-fi cables and accessories, including speaker cables, interconnects, digital cables, power cords, and video transmission lines. Nordost employs advanced techniques such as Micro Mono-Filament construction and mechanically tuned lengths to minimize distortion and maximize fidelity. Beyond cables, its lineup extends to power distribution systems, grounding solutions, and resonance control devices, forming a comprehensive ecosystem that enhances the entire audio chain without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.
Renowned among audiophiles worldwide, Nordost occupies a premium niche in the high-end market, celebrated for revolutionary designs that deliver unadulterated sound. From accessible Leif series entry points to exotic Valhalla and Odin flagships, its products command respect in over 60 countries, positioning the brand as a go-to for discerning buyers seeking boundary-pushing performance and uncompromising quality.
