Recieved my ($250) AC cable and replaced a $1,300 Alan Maher AC going into my distributor.
I doubt it is fully broken in yet but much to report.
If I take apart the word psyco-acoustic I would say it's 70% psycho and 30% acoustic.
The flow of music and emotional connection is massively improved. I hear the intent of the music and somehow "get" lyrics in songs I have known for 50 years. Remarkable experience.
Sonically, there is greater tonal complexity, details of inner dynamics, image solidity, powerful bass and impactful but nonirritating treble.
This from a scrawny $5 Amazon spaghetti - like AC wire feeding the entire system.I don't normally play music unaturally loudly but I am blasting it for break in and somehow this little thing allows my system to sound less strained and more dynamic at very loud levels.With my door closed and two rooms away I feel like I'm reurning from the restroom at a live concert-down the hallway but it's live and exciting and expressive.. This is MUSIC!
Quality is far from proportional to price in audio but I am looking forward to trying one of the "better" QSA cables. I really thought I would have to do a major equipment upgrade to get this kind of sound. I have heard many systems that are big and impressive sonically but only a few that are this musically emotive.
Bravo!
 
After the AXPONA 2025 QSA Lanedri demo, I purchased 2 QSA Landeri Veridion Discovery PCs. Heard good things about their Ethernet cable as well so will be purchasing also- relatively inexpensive to try.
 
I received my second Veridion Discovery power cord this afternoon. The first one went to the end of the captive cord of my LG OLED (via an adapter). It hasn’t moved as the improvements to the quality of sound and video made the cord well worth the cost. The second is targeted for my AV receiver but I plan to experiment in a few different places before finding its final resting spot. It’s presently powering the power supply feeding my router.

I ordered an Ethernet cable as well. I was told that this would be ready at the end of the month.

I would be fascinated to hear a comparison between one of your none Veridion but much "higher level" QSA- Landeri cords and this little guy with the Veridion treatment.

Note in this reply to me from Romaz, he mentions that "the smaller gauge of the Discovery will hinder" current-hungry devices. On such devices, one would be able to "adequately assess Veridion's qualities" but for a fair fight with one of the Gamma cords, I think it would be best to do the comparison on a component that's not current-hungry. But I can still give it a go. It's a bit easier now given that I have a second Veridion and one of them is very likely fully burned in.

I am using the Diacovery as the first wire into the system fom the wall. Better dynamics than prior cord. Have a Goldmund 590 int amp and speakers with powered woofers. Not a direct comparrison to a Gamma but Discovery replaced a moderatley hefty Alan Maher cord and seems to restrict current less. Everything is relative!

Fascinating- thanks for sharing.

The first Discovery didn’t last long on my K50 as I wasn’t patient enough to put up with the burn-in rollercoaster on my big rig. It went down to my TV more out of curiosity as to how apparent it would be visually. To my surprise audio quality was noticeably improved as well when streaming using one of the apps on my TV. What I heard and saw brought it closer to what I get from 4k optical discs. I had intended to only burn the cord in on my TV but the improvements was enough where there was no way that I want to be without it. I will try to be more patient with the second cord. LOL

One of the most impressive things I heard from QSA-L is the Gamma Infinity Ethernet cable. A friend brought his over and the improvement was on par with a better audiophile switch (though a better switch is still necessary). I am very eager to hear the Discovery ethernet.

I did it sorta the other way around with the Disco AC. TV first and yes much better sound (just bthe flat screen speakers) and richer color and most noticeably better motion- easier to keep track of 10 basketball players moving ( I guess the equivalent of PRAT).

After 8 days on TV I moved it to the audio system and it was still >300 hours untill it maxed out.

Seems like a significant TV cord upgrade at a very reasonable price. I’ll likely test/swap all myTV PC to QSA-L-Discovery

Yes it is. My LG OLED has a captive power cord so I purchased an adapter that would allow me to use the Discovery as an extension cable. I suspect the people most happy about QSA-L offering these Discovery Veridian cables only for a short time are the other audiophile brands. No way that they could make $250 cables that perform at this level.
