An equipment rack should be the foundation of your system; each has its own character and performance.<br />

1 <strong>Quadraspire</strong> Q4<br />
★★★★★ £380<br />
It’s as light as a feather, but don’t let appearances deceive:<br />
<strong>Quadraspire</strong>’s nifty Q4 lets your kit pack a punch. Made from<br />
metal and wood, the Q4 is swift to assemble and easy to move.<br />
The cheapest rack here gives our kit a cohesive sound with a<br />
well-balanced treble, taut and expressive bass and a supple<br />
and emotive midrange. Dynamically, this little rack doesn’t<br />
lack, and detailing is more than capable. At this price the Q4<br />
should be on your audition list.<br />

2 <strong>Quadraspire</strong> Sunoko Vent T<br />
★★★★★ £800<br />
This is a wildcard, at £300 more than the nearest rival. Larger<br />
than the Q4, it’s<br />
clearly from the same family, and our test<br />
rig really sings on this rack, serving up a refined, well-lit treble,<br />
smooth and rich midrange and a tight bass with superb grip and<br />
bags of detailing. Dynamically, you get<br />
a first-rate performance, and production subtleties are a<br />
revelation.<br />

Possibly the most cost effective upgrade you can make to your whole system.<br />
Hear the <strong>Quadraspire</strong> difference today.<br />
Q4EVO<br />
<strong>Quadraspire</strong> launched its fi rst hifi rack, the Q4,<br />
in 1995 and to celebrate its 15th Anniversary<br />
we are pleased to announce a total upgrade.<br />
The new Q4EVO shelf is intricately machined<br />
Intricate Machining<br />
on the underside to further reduce mass<br />
and resonance without losing any of its strength.<br />
The other key Q4 features remain:-<br />
■ Flexible modular solution to fi t most systems<br />
■ Beautiful real wood veneered shelves<br />
■ Solid non magnetic aluminium columns<br />
As soon as it was launched the Q4EVO received<br />
a 5 star review in What hifi .<br />
“The cheapest rack here gives our kit a cohesive sound<br />
with a well-balanced treble, taut and expressive bass<br />
and a supple and emotive midrange.”<br />
<strong>Quadraspire</strong> Q4EVO<br />
November 2009<br />
Sunoko-Vent T<br />
Solid Brass Collars<br />
<strong>Quadraspire</strong> Sunoko-Vent T<br />
November 2009<br />
The Sunoko-Vent has also been further<br />
improved and provides a step in performance<br />
over the Q4EVO for heavier and larger<br />
sized components:<br />
■ The engineered slotted shelves reduce mass and help<br />
air circulation to avoid overheating of the components<br />
■ Solid brass collars dissipate vibration away from the<br />
electronics through<br />
■ Solid concave aluminium columns to deliver a clearer,<br />
cleaner musical performance<br />
Amazingly <strong>Quadraspire</strong> netted a double coup when the SVT<br />
also received 5 star review on release.<br />
“Dynamically, you get a fi rst rate performance,<br />
and production subleties are a revelation.”<br />
<strong>Quadraspire</strong> was set up by Dutch Furniture designer Eduard Spruit in 1995 with the aim of designing and making<br />
quality hifi furniture that combines style and function with acoustic performance. At <strong>Quadraspire</strong> we believe that<br />
the rack is central to the optimum performance of a whole system. The reason for this is that each electronic<br />
component and cable is susceptible to electrical and mechanical noise that will degrade overall system<br />
performance. It is critical to reduce this to a minimum to deliver a clearer cleaner musical performance. We are<br />
able to achieve this through a combination of non magnetic aluminium columns and specially engineered wooden<br />
shelves. To ensure consistant production to the highest standards expected from our customers around the world<br />
we make our own products at our factory in Bath, England.<br />
