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.

Ok, I'm done.

I'm tired of exuding negative waves. I'm off to say fun, foolish nonsense on other threads to balance my vibe. Enjoy your cables.

 

FYI, the relationship between Quantum Science Audio (QSA) and QSA Lanedri", per AI:

is quantum science audio and qsa lanedri the same company'

No, Quantum Science Audio (QSA) and QSA Lanedri are not the same company, but they are closely related brands that collaborate. 

  • Quantum Science Audio (QSA) is an established audio company known for producing fuses, outlets, switches, and other audio accessories using its proprietary "Musical Metal Molecule Alignment Technology" (MMMAT) and "Metal Active Technology" (MAT).
  • QSA Lanedri is a newer, independent brand founded by Anas Lanedri in collaboration with Steven, the founder of QSA. The purpose of the QSA Lanedri brand is to apply QSA's core technology to high-end audio cables, such as power cords, interconnects, and ethernet cables, which were not previously offered by the original QSA company. 

Essentially, QSA Lanedri licenses and uses the core QSA technology to expand its application to a wider range of audio components, specifically the entire audio cable

Like you say I wasn't there so I can't verify or reconcile anything. That being said, I would probably respond with the same skepticism as you have, which is warranted. But after reading other user's experiences with the cables I took the plunge. The money back guarantee also eased that decision. I understand the frustration of not having complete transparency, but I don't think he will "spill the beans" on his own intellectual property. If it becomes patented then perhaps we'll get to know more.

I’m very satisfied with the impact the Discovery Series has had on my setup, especially considering the value at its price point.

You cannot “think” your way to determining whether something sounds better or not. Don’t be an engineerphile.  Be an audiophile. Let your test equipment be your ears. Hold off on expressing opinions of equipment you haven’t even heard. Be, you know, nice.
