The $250 power cables and $600 power strip that dethroned my $10k Shunyata Everest

@milpai 

Thanks. It's best to remain calm and of course healthy skepticism is welcome. I've uploaded a picture of the Everest in place and how it used to look. Hopefully this will prove I do indeed own the product. Those cables have been dumped unceremoniously in another room for now. Will begin selling them in the New Year.

Yes, as explained in earlier posts I have an LG G5 OLED on the wall. This is one the best TV's on the market today - you can't possibly tell me it's not up to scratch either. Picture quality looked better to my eyes through the Veridion cables and power strip. This includes movies and games. This is a subjective hobby is it not? One man's relaxed and open could sound muddy to someone else. Or one man's detailed could sound bright and edgy to another etc. Does everyone on this forum have huge listening rooms and abyssal trenches for pockets? If I use more words to describe things YOU don't believe I'm capable of hearing/seeing why bother? I think your mind is already made up, and that's fine. But maybe other users here may find the information useful. 

 

"This is a subjective hobby, is it not?" Indeed.

subjective specifically means relating to an object as it exists in the mind, as opposed to the thing as it exists in reality (the thing in itself). All perception relies on your mind, so your perception of a thing is ultimately subjective.

Now, objective

Something that’s truly objective has nothing to do with a person’s own feelings or views—it just deals with facts.

So, having no subjective opinion on these products yet, I took a look at the company's site and most everything on the WBF about them.

I'm not one to be swayed simply by a gushing opinion, I feel you have to look at something objectively before you can look at something subjectively, makes sense, right.

The more I 'objectively' read, the more skeptical I became. 

First, this is unquestionably savvy marketing. And nothing more. Here's why:

Buzzwords: Quantum. Superconducting. Phase smearing. Utter nonsense, but used effectively. If their products worked like how their alluding to, they'd have every physicist on the planet beating down their door.

I say alluding because they cleverly inject the words 'may', 'we feel', 'acts like', etc...

See, that gives them their out. So easy to glean over that when reading a sentence.

Next: Proprietary. Gotta have that secret sauce. Adds that air of unique technolological mystery. They of course can't divulge any more as they're 'looking into' patenting it.

My favorite: Lingering effect!

When they were at I believe AXPONA, the A/B'd their $5 treated cord with a $5 non treated one. When people started telling them they couldn't hear a difference, they literally shut down the testing, then came up with this gem: The effect of the treated cord is so powerful it remains in the system for hours even after being removed!! 

When questioned about this on WBF, crickets from QSAL, but a certain member that is also on this thread jumped right in to defend the non answer.

There's more, but that's enough.

So, after being objective and reading all that plus more, I formulated my subjective opinion:

I'm not going to waste my time and 90 bucks on a product from a company that spews unequivocal nonsense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In addition:

If these cables actually did what is claimed, every company in the world that utilizes cables, every power grid, every military, every aerospace entity, would be tripping over each other to use this ’secret technology’, yet as far as I know their sole market is selling it to the tiny niche of guys who listen to music. 

Anyone have an opinion as to why that might be? Anyone?
