| The StarBase support is suitable for the best audio equipment up to approximately 20 kg and not only takes the Base vibration platform but also the StrataBase for even better performance. HiFi World reviewed the StarBase with three Base 01 platforms and said " This is a very special set of shelving - a Rolls Royce rack, in fact. | The QuattraBase support when used in conjunction with the StrataBase vibration control platforms gives total isolation for the very best equipment with all unwanted interference removed for a remarkably natural sound quality. |
Two levels of platform are available for the Equipment Supports or any other good quality rack system. They are the Base platform which is constructed from a single substrata of MDF with a patented beam assembly underneath to dramatically reduce unwanted vibrations that colour the sound. This allows more detail and better bass extension with increased speed and clarity.
The StrataBase platform builds on the Base`s achievements and with its heavier, more substantial construction this allows an even better low frequency performance with greater detail, separation and realism.
