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.

And how do you know this is factual? @ionna22  I agree with @thecarpathian previous post that this is a deliberate ad placement in this forum. 

Time to end the feeding frenzy for this shill. 

Great many of us have dedicated power and upgraded power lines/cables feeding our dedicated listening space. It is quite evident in your listening closet that you do not.  

if your, quite long 12-gauge wires inside your walls can handle delivering such high powers, what makes you think that your 12-gauge 2-10 foot power cable cannot do the same job?

@foggyus91 I know that after 6+ years of education in EE and after 30+ years experience in the field of acoustics. I know that from building my own amplifiers and speakers, assembling my own wires.
No, I do not have a listening closet, I can afford a much better place.
If you goal is to insult - you failed, as I cannot consider you as an equally educated person worth having a discussion with. But you are right - enough for this crap.

For those who really interested, 

I highly recommend this resource from Cordial Cables (Germany). It is entitled "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Cables". You will find a lot of info about attenuation, cross-talk, conductivity, shielding, and much more.

They make a full range of decently priced high-quality cables. 
Each cable is described in high details, with technical data, parameters, materials they made from, areas of application... 

You will not find any magical treatments of other pseudo-scientific crap here. Only solid science.

(no, I do not own those cables. As I said, I craft my own)

Never said it was a deliberate ad placement.

@ionna22 I do apologize I was confusing you with the OP and his listening closet. I had not had enough coffee this morning.

  @thecarpathian it was implied in your post: 

But:

When presented with a first post OP that has every element of a product placement ad, even showcasing the high dollar gear it usurped, along with the company using the ubiquitous ’quantum’ and talk of ’phase smearing’  along with of course the secret proprietary method of enhancement, etc. etc., makes for one big head shaker. What really ices it for me though is this conversation over on WBF:

A member was telling Anas he had his new cable in and marveled at how great it sounds, but after whatever time period he decided to a/b his amazing cable against some cheapo one (totally paraphrasing) and to his surprise really couldn’t tell a difference between the two. Anyway, that’s the gist of it.

This company is a scam pure and simple. They take an off the shelf $1 fuse from Walmart or Home Depot, cover the glass area with tape so you can’t see it’s just a $1 fuse, and charge up to $10,000 for a $1 part they bought at a store. They buy $15 hospital grade outlets, put a sticker on it and charge $7000. It’s the most egregious scam I’ve ever seen in the hobby. And I’ve seen some doozies. :)
