Finite Elemente / Pagode Master Reference HD03 with Cerabase

Offered for sale is a finite elemente Pagode Master Reference HD03 equipment rack with Cerabase feet. This is a purpose-designed support for a serious audio system, combining distinctive craftsmanship with an engineering approach focused on resonance control. It is an attractive foundation for components whose performance deserves more than an ordinary shelf.

The Pagode design combines solid Canadian maple frames, aluminium pillars, and individually tuned resonators. Rather than treating a rack as passive furniture, finite elemente developed an equipment-support system intended to control resonant energy and provide a stable foundation for sources and amplification. The included Cerabase feet add the company’s ceramic-ball interface technology at the rack’s connection to the floor.

The Pagode Master Reference has earned lasting respect in the specialist press. Looking back at the original design in his later MkII review, Alan Sircom described its “resolving, dynamic and extremely musically satisfying performance.” — Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+. Reflecting on the Pagode family’s established strengths, he also called it “the perfect foundation for truly top-end systems that didn’t just rely on impressive audio fireworks.” — Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+.

With its recognisable maple-and-aluminium construction and included Cerabase feet, this HD03 offers both a refined presentation and a carefully engineered support system. Pagode’s enduring appeal is the combination of functional design, substantial construction, and a clear focus on letting the equipment perform.
