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.

Well, he (allegedly) sold product to OP and to others who posted on this thread, and judging from the circle jerk that’s going on over at What’s Best Forum business looks pretty brisk... |
As mentioned a couple of times in this thread, QSA and QSA Lanedri are two completely different entities. QSA appears to be based in Hong Kong, while QSA Lanedri is based in Europe (Belgium). My experience is specifically with the Discovery Series cables and the power strip from QSA Lanedri - these are the products I've personally tested and can speak about with confidence. QSA Lanedri also had its own dedicated room at AXPONA, where the Discovery series was introduced using A/B comparisons between untreated Monoprice cables and Veridion treated versions. Here is the YouTube link that was shared earlier in the thread when the QSA Lanedri room was highlighted as one of the surprises of the show among the best sounding rooms in the round table discussion. |
@roper , Did he have two separate systems set up in his dedicated room at Axpona? What was the outcome of the A/B comparisons? |
@roper , This is why you don’t trust YouTube and guys who have skin in the game: As previously posted, this is the owner of QSA’s explanation on why they had to cease A/B testing in their room at AXPONA when people were stating they couldn’t hear a difference between the ’treated’ $5 cable and the cheap, untreated $5 cable:
I realize you are a satisfied customer and you weren’t there, but if you read that answer with no knowledge of this cable, what would your opinion be? A cable that can influence the sound of your gear even after it’s been removed??!
