I’m in a process of up-grading my power block the Nordost QB8MKII but I’m not a fan of filters, every time i try filter i felt that something was taking off the music, more than just noise.
On my search I saw a brand that until now I didn’t ear about it and even their website does not talk in detail about their products. Is the Spanish brand Vibex.
I was listening to their top of the range without filters, the Vibex Platinum Power Block and it sound very very good.
The build its top! The chassis is made in something they call Krion, it sound like something of out of space
I will put the the specifications in the pic but is very well spec.
Also it promises to sound even better because it was a out of the box unit.
It was also the first time i saw a manual to correct install and take more of your power block and your system.
QB10 made QB8 and its paraphernalia (kones, filters, cables, earth) obsolete. One QB10 replaced my 2 QB8’s - including power cables - with sockets to spare. A game changer.
I have install QB10 tonight.
it is not a filter that creates compression, on the contrary the sound is more full-bodied and precise.
I’d say it’s something different than QB8.
I understand you, i had the QV2 in my QB8 MK2 and i felt it change the sound signature turning the highs and mids to much “in my face”. The Vibex is astonishing!
