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.

Thank You for getting back.

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.

Listening differentiation can be made in well setup system where the soundstage is created in front of you and you enjoy that. But I guess that my listening skills are not as well developed as you - since I would not be able to differentiate in the space you have.

Does everyone on this forum have huge listening rooms and abyssal trenches for pockets?

Agreed, not everyone has huge listening rooms. People should make choices of equipment that suite the room they have - including a woofer. I certainly do not have pockets for a Shunyata Everest.


Those cables have been dumped unceremoniously in another room for now.

In this department, you win hands down, since you dump thousands of $s worth of cables, while I take the cable out and put it back in it's box carefully before selling.

I have now understood your POV and how different we think about sound and taking care of our equipment. Enjoy your music!

No problem. Don't worry the cables will be carefully boxed when I come to sell them, thank you for your concern. You too! 

@bigtwin You’re paying a $45 shipping charge when you buy the $5 PC for $295 (250 + 45)

Correction: You’re paying a $45 shipping charge when you buy the $5 PC for $295 (250 + 45) which was processed with a metal treatment unavailable anywhere else which yields noticeable sonic improvement

Are you expecting the seller pickup the shipping charges so that buyers can try for free?  Seems inequitable. 

$45? in this niche luxury hobby?, this is paltry amount

I am very interested by this post. 
I have purchased the power strip and one power cable. If you only have one cable where were you use it?

I am using a McIntosh MA 352 would this upgrade my sound on my CD player and steamer.

I recommend A/B auditioning your new power cord against the current cord, with every component in your system. Only through personal experimentation will you be able to determine with which component your new cord makes the most difference. Let us know what you find, and enjoy the music!
