Quantum QRT QX4
I tried my QB4 with components plugged in. The results were nothing more than subtle. I get much better results with it up front near the wall receptacle. But it is not a game-changer by any means.I have never had more than subtle results from the... 
Quantum QRT QX4
Agear,Indeed, it is a sad commentary when a company with Nordost's reputation is really an audio emperor with no clothes. 
Quantum QRT QX4
Dcizmok,It is very foolish for manufacturers to charge premium prices for second-rate quality and risk being exposed. I am actually quite surprised at this from Nordost. I have been thinking about buying one of these high-ticket Qx4 units but I am... 
HiDiamond Power cords...
Calloway,You're welcome.Yo2tup,You are right -- YMMV. I have found that the best for my system are the M1 and F1. But they do not improve all cords. I tried them on a Bybee Ultra that is terminated with the 046 series and the M1/F1 did not improve...

Fishing716,I have a REL T3 with my Pulsars -- ample bass and seamless.

Calloway,The short answer is I have no idea. Frankly, I am not overly concerned about this aspect of the matter because I am not into physics or explanations. I am only concerned with results. If they work that's good enough for me. They work.

Raks,I feel the same way.Calloway,With all due respect, there is a world of difference between stock or common terminations and the Oyaide M1 and F1. You have to try them to understand. The more "evolved" your system the more sensitive it will be ...

Bacardi,If you order the M1/F1 all you need to do is take the terminations off the Power 3 and replace them with the Oyaides. There is no soldering required. Just make sure you get the soldered ends tightly into the slots. You have to familiarize ...

Bacardi,Liking the Power 3 has nothing to do with the price point for me. It has to do with the sonics. I did not crimp the wire because the ends of the Power 3 are soldered. The positive differences are much better sound stage, detail/definition,...

Ozzy,They look good but I have no experience with them and I have not tried the P4 yet. I also do a special mod to my P3 and some other power cords that greatly improves the sound. 
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
What is even more remarkable about Joe Morello is that he was only partly sighted. I saw Paul Desmond perform in the early 1970s. I saw Brubeck perform in the late 1960s. These were two of the most memorable performances I have ever attended. 
So......what do you use under your speakers?
Large Tupperware boxes filled to the brim with beach sand. I was warned by a speaker maker not to use this with his speakers. So, of course, I tried it out -- excellent.

Fplanner2000,I have terminated my P3s with Oyaide M1 plugs and F1 IECs and the difference is night and day. Expensive but worth every cent.

Bacardi,Worth every cent. 
HiDiamond Power cords...
Raks,Yes, this is a little tricky. The M1/F1 are actually no different from other Oyaide models in this respect. The slots are all the same. You need to turn the screw to make the opening as wide as possible without disengaging the screw from the ...
