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.

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!

Is it a performance art installation? A decoy set up by hackers? A study by behavioral psychologists?

what a fun thread! I think it is a study and I can’t wait until the paper is published! My guess it is someone working on a degree in marketing and the premise is a “hide it in plain sight“ scam. It’s got it all. The mysterious process by which a modest product increases its value 50 fold. The sketchy supportive evidence, including a questionable system that it was tested on. Even the slightly literary touch of naming the salesman “roper“ as in “go rope in some buyers“

After giving this a slight bit of further thought, I would like to propose a quasi scientific explanation of the Veridian process. We know it is quantum in nature, so it is very likely that they simply quantum link a superior audio cable to these inexpensive, mono, price cables. Thereby using the understood process of quantum entanglement to offer remarkable benefits to every purchaser of the $250 mono price cable.

Do not forget to replace the power wires inside you walls.

Remember, cable is just a passive electrical circuit. By the law, every additional circuit decreases something in electrical current (works as a filter), it cannot improve any parameter of amplifier, etc..
Electric cable either does the delivery job or not.
