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.

@ionna22 Krell is dead... 

Krell Industries temporarily shut down in June 2024 following the unexpected death of owner and CEO Rondi D'Agostino. After a period of legal disputes over control of the company, her son, Kristofer D'Agostino, was granted control by a court in February 2025. Since then, Krell has resumed repair services under new management in a new Connecticut facility, but full manufacturing and a return to regular operations remain uncertain, although the company has made optimistic claims about future plans.

from the company’s web site:

 I am Anas Lanedri, a devotee of audio excellence for over two decades. My quest led me to a serendipitous moment three years ago, when I stumbled upon a fervent debate among audiophiles discussing the mystical qualities of a $5,000 fuse. This revelation ignited my curiosity and introduced me to the remarkable world of QSA technology, specifically the QSA fuse.


I love it when great inventors give personal insights on how they made their signature discoveries. In the quote above, Monsieur Lanedri tells us that his search for the QSA process came about the instant he realized that two apparently sane people could be debating the value of a $5000 piece of wire. Breathtaking clarity I must say!

@foggyus91 Krell is not dead. The amps made by Krell are still considered a marvel in the field. Hold the price steady and in high demand. You can hardly buy K-300i under 6K, and that is after 6 years. Original price was 8K. 

Krell as a company is dead due to a bad investor. Dan D’Agostino, the founder family member, is actively making gems under his own name. 

"Already in 2009 there had been a clash between the D'Agostinos and the New York private equity fund, KP Capital Partners, which had acquired 40% of the shares of Krell Industries. Due to strong disagreements, Dan D'Agostino then abandoned Krell to found Dan D'Agostino Master Audio Systems."

@ionna22 ""QSA-treated Sablon Audio Ethernet Cable"
Really? Audio Ethernet?"

Sablon Audio is the name of a cable manufacturer , QSA under agreement with Sablon Audio takes their "base" ethernet cable and applies its treatment. So net net it is a Sablon Audio QSA treated ethernet cable , not audio ethernet

@facten Thank you for clarification. Sounds confusing, right?
Can one say what for do I need a 4.5K Ethernet cable? To make Internet faster? To clear unwanted noise?
Same questions are for USB cable, and down the list.
