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.

From the qsalanedri website " regarding the monoprice veridion cable - "we invite you to beat it against any cable priced ten times higher. Let results - not price  - win".

Does this mean that it beats all the other extremely expensive cables from this company.

Since the veridion treated cable has such amazing properties, and indeed the process is so magical that it can persist even after the cable is removed, it would indeed appear that the company has obsoleted most of its own products.

There is only one catch. The website also says that the Monprice treated cables will only be available for a limited time.

I have to say that it all seems very odd to me and brings back memories of the the works of Peter Belt.

Quote from your last post here:

"Audio enthusiasts - with extensive experience in cabling - with a resolving system - know that it takes hours for the SQ to reset after a change. "

I am very curious about this effect. Could you please direct me to some studies of this effect. Thanks.

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......

As I stated previously, QSA Fuses are not part of QSA Lanedri.  They are two totally separate entities.  But to your point, I assume you use all stock fuses in your system.  Second, what is the scam?  Even if they did what you said, QSA is a legitimate corporation based in Asia.  Thousands of people have purchased their products, including their fuses.  This thread is about QSA Lanedri products.  

@soix   Right there in the title," Quantum Science,"  says it all.  My bu!!sh*t meter just pegged full up!  Do they have access to CERN or some other Particle accelerator?  Do they have physicists on their staff who can interpret the data involved in this area?  Whenever I hear the word Quantum, anything connected to an audio product, I run from it.

Some comments from here were referenced on WBF, and Anas responded there. I’m sharing his reply here for transparency and completeness. Readers can interpret it however they wish.

@facten pos on WBFt:

, Not sure that you really wanted to post that link. Read the thread , the poster has been slammed repeatedly by several folks over his experience with the product in part due to outright skepticism, but also because of the unfortunate way he has his system setup, and their view/doubts of his system composition vis a vis having an Everest in the 1st place. Heck, even Willgolf who has a top of the line system and commented on using the Discovery line for certain applications has been attacked. Lastly, you’ll read unflattering comments by some vis a vis QSA

Reply from QSA Lanedri on WBF:

Reading and watching feedback—positive or critical—about Veridion and other technologies has become part of my daily routine. I always make time for it because it’s one of the most valuable sources of learning and improvement.

To explain why I shared the Audiogon thread link, I first need to briefly restate my position on skepticism. I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth summarizing again. Skepticism has been part of this journey from day one, and I genuinely respect it. Critical thinking is essential, especially today, with so many claims and so much information coming from every direction. Healthy skepticism keeps the audio market honest, and I fully understand why some of the statements around Veridion technology raise eyebrows. We knew from the start that our claims would attract a high level of scrutiny—especially when we talk about transforming something as ordinary as a basic Amazon cable. The reactions are completely reasonable.

As for why I shared the Audiogon thread here: the discussions there, including the skeptical ones, offer valuable opportunities to learn. From what I read, all the posts—even the strongest critical replies—address ideas, not people, and I respect that.

When we decided to create this brand, we were completely aware of these challenges. We continued anyway for one simple reason: the impact of the technology was real to us and to the group of audiophiles who first discovered its effect on cables. That discovery encouraged us to share the experience more widely.

The technology is science-based, with extensive R&D behind it. Confidentiality is necessary for now while we explore patenting paths, and a couple of labs are helping us evaluate Veridion’s measurable effects on conductors. We’ve also sent cables for standard measurements; for example, Alpha Audio reviewed and measured our Ultimatum Infinity speaker cables.

Regarding the Discovery Series: the gauge of the wire is a major factor in determining the magnitude of the impact our technology can achieve. This is what primarily distinguishes our commercial lines—from Gamma to Spectra to the Ultimatum Series, which features 1/0 AWG for power cables and 4/0 AWG for the Ultimatum speaker cables. Veridion was a breakthrough for us because it delivers an unprecedented level of realism and works even on lower-gauge conductors—something the previous Infinity technology could not. This is what allowed us to offer the Discovery Series, even though the effect there is smaller compared to the higher series.

At the end of the day, we found a technology that increases our enjoyment of music and video, and our vision is to share that with the community. The financial side keeps us working full-time and funds the ongoing R&D. Our objective is to apply Veridion technology to all components across the entire audio and video chain.
