The test setup
Contents
We tested the Nordost QRT Qwave and Qsine on our reference system. We plugged the Sonnet Pasithea into an ordinary, solid-state power strip, which is not filtered. Then we put the QRTs into that socket, to see if and what changes.
The Sonnet – to keep the setup short and simple – directly controlled the Pass Labs X-150.8.
