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.

For those just that are just looking to try a Veridion power cord and/or ethernet cable, I've found Anas' instructions to be very true in my system.  Namely, install them on your router or switch.

I think the biggest value is the Discovery Veridion power strip.

Try it with, and without any other power conditioners or distributors you may have.  I really liked my Ansuz power distributors/conditioners and they worked very well in my system, beating out my PS Audio Power Plants, however, with the Discovery Veridion power strip, my system sounds best with just the power strip in the chain.

For advanced experimenters, try daisy chaining multiple power strips, and I also highly recommended footers underneath the power strips.

I have the same experience with Ice age audio power cables which outperform cables 5000  $ and up.  Snake oil.

I have worked as a mixing engineer in a number of recording studios in the Philadelphia area over the many years and have always used Belden cable and Amphenol connectors and standard power cables in all of the mixing boards and effects units.  I would venture to guess that all of theses audiophile recordings we listen to have been recorded using same.  So it is no wonder, at least to me, if I use the same if not similar cable here at my listening positions I’ll get the same results..”Better” makes no sense to me.  That’s why I’m Blue Jeans Cable all the way.

What @daddy_o_65 doesn't tell you: The more Veridion power strips are daisy-chained, the more the quantum sonic benefits add up.

It is highly recommended that you plug your hifi equipment in the last power strip of the daisy chain, and only the last - open plugs in the intermediate strips are crucial to the acceleration of nanocore copper particles.

It must be noted that right now, sonic benefits sadly plateau after only 8 to 10 power strips are daisy-chained, but QSA physicists are confident they can bring that number up to an astonishing 100.
