QSA LANEDRI Series

Hi Steven,
Very glad yo see that there is a QSA Forum on WBF.
Congratulations!

QSA : My take on their expensive products

I think I wrote the first QSA review on WBF, back in 2012.

May I ask you two questions?

Firstly, I notice on you website that QSA-Lanedri cables are being launched.

HOME | QSA LANEDRI

www.qsa-lanedri.com

May you tell us more about them?
What metals are employed and what special features do they have?

Secondly, several frds of mine in Hong Kong have bought QSA JitterPower.


Again, please tell the WBF members more about these series of accessories.

Many thanks!

Cheers,
CK

 

Romaz Anas please correct me if I am wrong.
if the mass of conductor makes so big difference the effect of the power cable should be much bigger
Than a fuse with the same treatment.

Because a fuse sits in such close proximity to the component, it's impact is bigger than most would imagine and to remove a QSA fuse despite all the QSA cables I have results in a fairly painful letdown but yes, in my system, the impact of cables is greater than the impact of a fuse.

 

Another important question with the placement of my amps in a cabinet area. Are the Ultimate speaker cables bendable with their oversized thickness? I would need to bend the cable probably 90 degrees to make them fit.

The Ultimatum speaker cables while large and very heavy are surprisingly very flexible and a 90 degree bend will not be a problem.

Hi Willgolf, What you need to know is the radius of the bend

 

Shipment tracking numbers will be shared as of tomorrow.

For those new to the QSA world, the QSA Lanedri cables are directional. The white -half- arrow on the left to the logo indicates the direction from source to destionation.

I don’t think I remembered this but I just checked and my XLR was oriented correctly. Thanks!

I know you reported the upgrate in SQ before.
was thete any other SQ change over longer time ?
Or should we estimate that after about a week we will get full performance ?

Still happy with the final result ?
getting more cables or stopping where you are ?

Can you please elaborate what you mean? Thx

I think he means what is the radius of your turn when the cable goes 90 degrees. Is the radius 2 inches or 2 centimeters? Obviously, the tighter the turn, the tougher to make the cable go that way.

I would say that it takes about three weeks to get to full performance. I lost the ability to determine if they improved further beyond that as I was helping to test the latest noise shaping in PGGB 256. Together I am hearing the most significant upgrade in terms of making voices and instruments sound like the real thing. This upgrade didn’t even cost me that much once I factor in the proceeds from selling my previous cables. Crazy bang for the buck.

Still happy with the final result ?

Yes absolutely.

I will be receiving a Gamma Infinity power cord in this next batch. After that I will likely to snag a few more.

I was listening to one of my favorite albums the other day (The Yes Album). I never in my lifetime imagined that I would own an audio system that would bring me into the studio with them in the way I was brought in there that night. Honestly this is what the pursuit of audio has been about for me. If that’s true for you too, you will be thrilled with these QSA Lanedri cables do.

Unlike RCAs, XLRs can only go in one direction.

I thought I was just lucky as far as the orientation. Haha.

a 90 degree bend is 1/4 of a circle. So what is the smallest circle you can form with the cable before you start to damage its conductors, dielectric and screen. If the radius of the circle is say 10cm, then your 90 degree bend will take 2 x 3.142 x 10 x 0.25 = 16cm of cable (2xPixRx0.25)

I guess if one ordered a pair to be used for recording one would have to request that specifically.

Yes, but yet many RCAs are directional - they use balanced wire and the shield ground is just connected at one extreme.

I have 7 inches between the amp and the back wall. If I am using spades and turn them sideways, I should be able to accommodate the speaker cables without bending much at all. Now I just need to know the thickness of the whole cable as I might need to make the hole in the wall larger. Thx

My point was that you can physically connect RCA cables either way but you can’t with XLRs.

This was the first set of XLRs that I’ve used in over two decades. I had realized when arrived that I could only install them one way but forgot all about it. So your reminder was appreciated.

I am still seeing improvements in my TV picture 6 weeks after installing a Revelation LAN cable between a switch and Shield TV Pro. I thought it had stabilized around week 3, but then the video quality started getting better. I think it is still evolving even in the past 3-4 days. Pretty amazing.
