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.

It is not fine (for the "company") to make quite ridiculous claims about superconductivity and difference in sound between 1/0 and 10 AWG wires. Denying the laws of science is not fine.

@ionna22, exactly.  I have no problem with someone thinking that their $5 cable sprinkled with fairy dust sounds better than my Shunyata Omega speaker cables.  All good.  But I have a big problem with the magical claims by the company about how sprinkling some magical fairy dust turns regular metal into a SUPERCONDUCTOR.  One is personal opinion, and that is fine, and the other is fraudulent marketing BS that is not fine at all.  Reminds me of the magical record clamp made of magical ebony from the "ancient swamps of Africa" for $4,000 that apparently makes your vinyl system transport you to a live concert.

I created this thread to open an avenue in this hobby that others may wish to explore and share in. I'm sharing my feedback for anyone who finds it useful. How you choose to interpret it is entirely up to you. 

I don’t know the specifics of the technology, and the manufacturer has stated that confidentiality is required...maybe the patent process is underway? My priority is simple: does the value I receive match what I paid for? In the case of the Discovery series, the performance has exceeded both my expectations and the cost.

Willgolf, a long-time member here with a far more advanced system, has also shared his impressions. And Mark Coles of Sablon Audio has publicly discussed how this technology influenced the performance of his own cables. These aren’t casual endorsements—they come from people with deep experience in this hobby.
