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.

+1 "Since the effects last, even after the cable is gone, maybe we could buy just one cable and pass it around to all the members?” - LOL

it could be just contact oxidation/dirt cleaning effect during plug-unplug action.. periodical (once in two-three years) maintenance of all critical contacts, by cleaning / checking contacts, is very important! I’ve seen a lot of “new magic cable” SQ improvements discoveries only backed up by the fact that new connector never aligned with old one’s contact point.. in many cases IEC amp/other device receptacle need to be replaced as well, ideally matching new cable plug manufacturers spec.

I think the attackers are so relentless because users are sharing such positive impressions about effective products that many can afford. 

Psychology Today commented on a study published in issue of Personality and Individual Differences on the motivations of internet trolls. They concluded that “trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad”. “Often, in fact, it seems like there is no real purpose behind their comments except to upset everyone else involved.”  It stands to reason that those who derive pleasure from upsetting those positing to a forum might also derive pleasure from denying others the opportunity to get more enjoyment out of their audio system, which is something these QSA Lanedri products are almost certainly able to do.  There wouldn’t be any trolling if those products weren’t able to do that.
