So, $5 Monoprice power cords actually superconduct when operated at minus 271C?
But then again, so would Home Depot power cords?
Fascinating.
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.

I haven’t tested the Ultimatum series personally, but here’s a review with measurements of the 1/0 AWG Ultimatum Infinity power cable. The playlist I shared earlier captures the impact of adding the Ultimatum Infinity power and speaker cables to the Alpha Audio system. There’s also other reviews covering the Ultimatum Infinity power cable and the 4/0 AWG speaker cables. https://www.stereotimes.com/post/qsa-lanedri-infinity-series-ultimatum-speaker-cables/ https://www.alpha-audio.net/review/qsa-lanedri-ultimate-infinity-power-cable/ If every review and user impression is dismissed, there’s only one path left: try it and see. Anything else isn’t analysis—it’s assumption. The Ultimatum series may be out of reach for most, but at $250 and with a 30-day refund guarantee, the Discovery Veridion cables make it accessible enough for anyone to test the claims directly. Whether someone chooses to try those products or not is simply a matter of personal comfort with experimenting in this hobby. However, ridiculing those who do choose to experience a product firsthand only to reinforce one’s own position takes the discussion away from what matters—music and listening. Cheers |
Yes, both can become superconductors at extremely low temperatures. |
This discussion is not only about music and listening. |
Although your job was to convince people to pay $250 for $5 Monoprice power cords and you seem to have largely failed, you have valiantly tried (and continue to, though hopefully not for much longer). All efforts deserve reward, and to be fair QSA should indeed sell you an Ultimatum cable (what an idiotic name though!) for like $10 - just so you can keep claiming with a straight face that you pay for product with your own money.
