Nordost QKORE

Who else has the QKore grounding unit? I just got a QKore 6. If you are in the Nordost ecosystem I think this should be a priority upgrade over any other Nordost product.

An immediately noticeable increase in ease/transparency while lowering the noise floor and reducing digital glare. It’s one of the few cable products/tweaks that does not impart some type of sound signature, everything just got better and more real.

I am using a QB8 power distributor and Nordost Heimdall 2 power cables, so there is obviously a synergy going on here with the common design philosophy and the QB8 having a built in ground post. So I am not sure if users of other equipment will see such gains as I am hearing.

But this is a fantastic product and the option to ground 5 more devices gives lots of room for tweaking out of a single compact box item. It's a small but very solid chassis.

But how does this "passive approach to obtaining an artificial, “clean” earth for hifi audio systems" compare with Puritan's ground master, where one does actually connect the ground of the power conditioner to a ground rod on the outside of ones house to earth? 

I don't know, I have the latter, I am not implying it is better, because I don't know. I would hope not as it is quite a bit less money. I imagine the ones who have tried both in their system is slim to none. 

I also imagine employing both grounding strategies may be counterproductive? 

This Nordost is similar to synergistic research's grounding blocks with the exception that the SR is active- it plugs in- anyone compared these?
