Four Point Suspension

The state of the prior art employed three (Oracle) to five (Source) springs, of varying geometry, inversion modes (i.e. suspension or compression), damping, and frequency. Or high mass damping to subdue airborne and structural resonances and feedback. The Quasar must employ a high mass sub-chassis, despite the cost. Again with all things equal the light designs actually sound lightweight, lacking the slam and majesty of the great and expensive designs such as the Goldmund Reference and the Trio LO7. In this combination, damped compressed springs tuned at high frequency introduce the desirable sonic signature of opposing requirements, i.e. weight without smearing, speed, clarity, bass slam without overhang or coloration. Due to the high mass of the sub-chassis, the result does not vary depending on the mass and position of the chosen tonearm.
