Finite Elemente / Pagode Master Reference HD03 with Cerabase and Heavy Duty Option

Offered for sale is a finite elemente Pagode Master Reference HD03 equipment rack with Cerabase feet and the Heavy Duty option. This configuration adds reinforced support for heavier equipment to Pagode’s established resonance-control design—a particularly appealing combination for a system built around a substantial turntable or other weighty component.

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 Heavy Duty option strengthens the designated equipment-support level for higher loads. It is a structural upgrade for heavier components, distinct from the Cerabase feet supporting the rack at floor level.

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 both upgrades included, this HD03 combines the practical advantage of reinforced equipment support with finite elemente’s ceramic-ball floor interface—an exceptionally well-considered foundation for a substantial high-end system.
