Finite Elemente Pagode Master Reference HD09 Amp Platform


I would be interested if anyone who owns or has owned the Finite Elemente Pagode Master Reference HD09 amplifier platform could share some imporessions on it. Does it bring a noticeable or significant improvement when the component presumably an amp is placed on it.

IME some of the best stands available are from Finite Elemente. You will most likely see a very nice uptick in SQ.

I had the Finite Elemente MR HD09 (actually two). I moved on to a pair of HRS E1X and upgraded the feet. I don’t miss the HDO9s at all. And although they are nice, I find the HRS much better in my system and room. 

In terms of will you notice it and is it worth it, I’d say it depends what else there is to improve in your system. It will make a difference. Bigger than better isolation under a turntable? No. Bigger than treating first reflections? No. Etc. So if you’ve ticked a lot of boxes and this is one that’s still outstanding and you have some nice amps, then yes go for it. If not, prioritize other things.
