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.

However, after running an A/B test, I concluded: "Why do I even need a Power Conditioner?"  The answer was that I didn’t.   As a result, I purchased two more power strips for my media closet, which controls my whole house and theater room. 
 

this is a very important statement and the reason why everything should be taken with a grain of salt…or 3. 
Finding out a power conditioner brings no added value in your system and declaring QSA power strip is better or just as good as your power conditioner that you don’t need is 2 different things. 
Not a good look. Some in this thread were fighting for your credibility.
 

With your $500,000 system the power supplies in your component should be so robust that a power conditioner will at least be unnecessary. Ethernet filter - not needed: pure BS in most cases…you just hope it won’t hurt anything. I sold my Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System as its effects in my setup resulted in degradation of sound quality. Not surprised you didn’t need that Muon either.

1/0 AWG is a wire of diameter 8.26 mm (do we really need cable capable to handle 150 Amps at least?)
10 AWG has a diameter of 2.59 mm

1/0 AWG copper wire has a resistance of 0.0098 ohms per 100 feet
10 AWG copper wire has a resistance of 0.1 ohms per 100 feet

Compare with 4-8 ohms speaker driver resistance. Do the math, compare the signal loss.

It is amazing how some folks refuse to consider the core laws of electricity.
