The $250 power cables and $600 power strip that dethroned my $10k Shunyata Everest

This has happened before.

Picture a long, detailed, articulate first post couched in flawless English. The thread starter has 0, 1, or 3 prior posts to his name. He makes an elaborate, passionate case for some heretofore unknown brand or fringe tweak or, as in this case, a modest power cable being resold for 50 times what you and I can buy it for from Monoprice. I was going to say "scam" cable, but the cable itself is a fine, no-frills utilitarian cable, the furthest thing from a scam.

OP is active on the thread, always good-humored, deftly deflecting criticism in an endearing, aw-shucks kind of way, sprinkling a smidgen of self-pity on it seeing as to how he’s being persecuted by Philistines, which in turn causes a few legit but tweak-preoccupied members to rush to his aid, as well as a few enablers who presumably feel sorry for him and voila, suddenly a measure of cred is established.

Cue the "Why won’t you try it for yourself! What do you have to lose?" choir.

It is notable that OP consistently displays a complete, shocking ignorance of what constitutes a normal hi-fi system.

unless the OP is a complete fraud, he’s telling us what he heard.

Fair enough, but how many people who hear differences in cables rock a gaming system that includes a mid-tier AVR and a $10K power conditioner, all stuffed into a closet?

Now, folks, hasn’t this same exact scenario been rolled out before time and again, almost word for word, hawking a fuse here or a magic puck there, or a no-ground grounding device for apartments?

@devinplombier yup. It is amusing though. Lots of folks who are ready to take the bait. The audience is a layer with low fi to lower mid fi gear who are stretching to spend $300 for an upgrade. It’s a low hanging fruit a power cord or a fuse. A component upgrade costs thousands. Easier to believe that a $5 power cord for $250 will elevate your system to stratospheric new levels.
Spend 250 on a really nice dinner. Ot a couple of nice bottles of whatever it is you like to drink. Or buy music or a few years worth of streaming service subscription.

 . . . Asana practice prepares the body for meditation, promotes physical and mental well-being . . .  

+1  Yoga would benefit a whole bunch of grumpy old men - as per this thread.  Meditation might be a bridge too far.

With a bulging L4 and a desiccated L5, yoga saved my back from any pain for decades.  Most likely, my heart too.   

Wow, am I on trial here?  Have I been hacked?  Hell No.  Really!  I used to spend many hours a day studying Audiogon to learn the nuances of building a system.  Then, I got tired of the negative vitriol from some members on this site.  Consequently, I found WBF, which is far more informative, and that group helped me build my dream system.  Does that mean I never use Agon anymore?  No!.  If I am selling an Audio item, I will study the classifieds to get an idea of pricing.  Occasionally, I will peruse threads that might interest me.  

I am functionally Blind (Do I need to prove that also?). It is tough for me to read or type, and I sometimes make typos.  Frequently, I use voice activation to read and write.  It is also why I have not been posting much on Agon in the last year.  

I sold my Inakustic 4500P within the last month.  Yes, I have not updated my Audiogon system to show that I no longer own it.  It is not a priority for me.  I have been using two QSA Landri Power strips for two months now and have one more on my wine fridge to break it in.  

I would be happy to show pictures of my system if I knew how.  I tried 3 times and lost everything that I typed.  I am a little insulted by the prove it conspiracy theory, but I have no problem doing it.  I tried clicking on what I thought was an image, but it did not work.  Please go back and read my first post on this thread.  

A couple ponts of clarification:

QSA fuses are not part of QSA Lanedri.  They are two separate entities.  Anas Landri thought: if fuses can affect a system, what would happen if the same treatment were applied to cables and cords?  He spent 3 years developing and going through many iterations before launching QSA Lanedri.  I was an early adopter of QSA Lanedri because I thought QSA fuses were better than SR Fuses.  I was intrigued.  BTW,  the Discovery Veridion line was not even a thought at the time.  I stated that I did not want to go into my other high-end QSA Lanedri cords and cables because that was not on topic.  I do have 5 Ultimatum Infinity Power Cords and 2 Ultimatum Infinity speaker cables.  You can not compare the Ultimatum Infinity line to the Veridion Line.  I am using a Veridion on my Aries Cerat Aurora speaker Crossover and another on the power supply.  Previously, I was using a $3k MIT cord (which I sold both of).  

If someone can tell me how to upload pictures to this thread, I will; if not, please send me a private message, and I will respond.
