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.

@squared80 well you’re using an upgraded power cord for $6.99. The cable that’s subject of this discussion is $5. So you basically wasted your money buying a more expensive cable without achieving any improvements. It should have been the $5 cord coming out on top as it’s a better value since it sounds exactly the same as its more expensive counterpart. |
Audiophile1 - said this is a very important statement and the reason why everything should be taken with a grain of salt…or 3. I have tried to be respectful in every post I have made, but it is extremely hard when you challenge my credibility and personal experience. Why do you feel a need to continue to post on this thread? You have no intention of trying QSA Lanedri products, and that is your prerogative. Indeed, there are more interesting threads for you to enjoy. Why waste your time on this thread? You have said your peace over and over. I have a choice. I can plug my system into a wall outlet, a Power Conditioner, or a Power strip. I already plug my amps directly into the wall outlet, which feeds my 8-gauge wires to the junction box on a separate 20-amp line. I need to plug the rest of my system into one or the other. I am not saying that a Power conditioner does or does not have benefits. That is for everyone to decide for themselves, within their own budget and component constraints. I would guess that most people with high-end components like mine use a power conditioner or a similar device. I could be wrong. Per your statement, high-end products may not need a power conditioner. Apparently, you know this to be true. The bottom line, regardless of whether they are two different components, is that I found I could sell my Power Conditioner for a net gain of $3400 in my pocket and no degradation of sound quality using the QSA Lanedri Power strip.. That sounds pretty smart to me. And you of all people should understand this, given the title of your system being "Less is More".

@willgolf you neglected to mention the details in your original post and I pointed this out. So far it looks like I’ve not stated anything that wasn’t accurate. It is true. I have no intention to try QSA products because they look like scam to me and I am not interested in wasting my time and money. I also appreciate the ability to simplify a system without any compromise - you’ve correctly noted that. |
I had posts deleted too. Looks like there’s a pattern here. So, thin-skinned charlatans are perverting the intent of the moderation system in order to get posts they don’t like removed (and thereby promoting their product, albeit indirectly). I think it’s a tough enough job to be a moderator without adding a bunch of scammers making bogus synchronized abuse reports to take advantage of the fact that moderators are super busy and can’t be everywhere at once. Just my two cents of course
