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


Hello fellow audiophiles. I've been using products from QSA Lanedri who I believe offer the best price to performance ratio on the market today for their power and signal cables. You may have heard of Quantum Science Audio fuses and might even have some installed in your system. QSA Lanedri have perfected this technology/treatment and are now offering it in their power and signal products. The line of products in particular is called Veridion Discovery which is their most affordable line. I currently own 2 Veridion Discovery power strips (daisy chained), 8 power cables, 3 ethernet cables, 1 DC cable. Initially I was sent a power and ethernet cable to try and was so impressed I ordered more including the power strips. I have been comparing their power cables to much more expensive cables from Audioquest and Furutech. I've also been comparing their power strip to my Shunyata Everest power conditioner and found I prefer the Discovery power strip. Infact I'm in the process of trading in my Shunyata Everest and corresponding Sigma X power cable for either a better integrated amplifier or speakers. Once you pair up Discovery power cables with the Discovery power strip things improve dramatically. Not only does audio improve but picture quality and home cinema improves also and will challenge anything at any price. I will say the Discovery line requires a few days of continuous use or "burn in" period before proper evaluation. I compared their Ethernet cables to the likes of Audioquest Diamond and Wireworld Platinum Starlight 8 and again preferred the Discovery line. Through the Discovery products music sounds cleaner and clearer with a heightened sense of realism. This also applies to film and TV. Compared to the Shunyata Everest picture quality is now cleaner with more vibrant colours. Motion and panning shots are improved with less stutter. I will add that I have the power strips on Auva EQ CSA1 isolation footers. All of my equipment is sitting on Auva EQ footers which I found were better than the Isoacoustic Oreo footers I had previously. The Discovery products look very basic and don't scream high end but from my experience they can go toe to toe with the best at very affordable prices! They offer a 30 day money back guarantee for peace of mind. Definitely worth a look. Cheers.

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.

To make it simpler for me, I just updated Willgolf's system.  I added a few more pictures.  The photo of my components will still show the Inakustic 4500P that I sold.   If you look at my components, they are in a very tight space, but I was able to get a picture of the Power strip. 

What would a $5 power cord sound with a serious cryo treatment and long burn in with a powerful burn-in machine? The problem with Lanedri is the total lack of information on his process and there always is a simple reason for that.  

If the OP hears a positive difference, good for him.  I have never listened to these miracle cords and powerstrips, so I can't opine on them one way or the other.  However, I think that for the "cables matter" crowd (of which I am one), it is difficult to swallow the representation that they can take a cheap $5 monoprice cord, do some magical, secret and unexplained "process" to it and suddenly you have a better cord -- not just a better one, in fact, but one that surpasses what I consider to be an excellent power cable/conditioner combo, in the Sigma/Everest combo.  I'm not saying that it can't be true --- just that it defies logic, sounds like BS, and is pretty difficult to swallow.  But hey, if they can sell a $5 cord for $250 by shaking some rattles over it and maybe doing Reiki massage on each one, that is a sweet profit . . . better than drug dealing and safer, LOL!
