@Anas

Not sure if the below questions below were raised before in wbf.... I had almost replaced all my cabling and conditioners with Veridion Discovery. Would be great to understand more to maximize my investment.

1. Is Veridion Discovery technology same as QSA technology? If not, how are they different?
2. Can QSA and Veridion Discovery products (e.g. QSA fuse and jitter plug and VD cords) be used together?
3. Will the effect of Veridion Discovery diminish over time ?
4. Can I apply cleaning and enhancing liquid to the cables ? Such as Furutech nano liquid?
5. As I have 2 power strips do you recommend to Daisy chain them or plug both of them to the wall outlet ?
6. Can I use VD products with those magnetic products like High Fidelity Cabling HFC mc0.5? https://audiobacon.net/2018/05/14/high-fidelity-cables-mc-1-pro-vs-mc-0-5-power-conditi
oners/

Thanks for your clarification

Hi Anas.
I don't know if this question has been answered before, but is it better to connect the power strip directly to the wall or to a power conditioner?

This was answered by Anas previously in this thread : the wall.

1. Is Veridion Discovery technology same as QSA technology? If not, how are they different?

Veridion is a breakthrough technology that differs from the various QSA treatments. QSA treatments target specific musical and visual attributes, whereas Veridion is engineered to elevate the sense of realism as a complete, integrated audio-video experience.

2. Can QSA and Veridion Discovery products (e.g. QSA fuse and jitter plug and VD cords) be used together?

With the exception of QSA Crystal Gold and the Ultimatum and Spectra Infinity series, I don’t recommend combining other QSA treatments with Veridion, as they may disrupt the realism balance that Veridion achieves.

3. Will the effect of Veridion Discovery diminish over time ?

No, Veridion’s impact is permanent. The effect continues to develop over time in an exponential manner, eventually reaching a point where further improvements remain present but are increasingly subtle.

@Anas

4. Can I apply cleaning and enhancing liquid to the cables ? Such as Furutech nano liquid?

We have not evaluated those enhancement liquids, and I advise against their use, as they may interfere with or diminish the performance of the Veridion treatment.

5. As I have 2 power strips do you recommend to Daisy chain them or plug both of them to the wall outlet ?

Daisy-chaining the Discovery Veridion power strips delivers a stronger effect.

6. Can I use VD products with those magnetic products like High Fidelity Cabling HFC mc0.5? https://audiobacon.net/2018/05/14/high-fidelity-cables-mc-1-pro-vs-mc-0-5-power-conditi

I strongly advise against using any component that employs filtering. What distinguishes the Discovery Veridion power strip is that it achieves a darker background without the trade-offs introduced by power conditioners, which inevitably come from their filtering—regardless of price.

Thanks for your clarification

You’re most welcome, and thank you for consolidating these precise questions—several of them have been raised by others as well.

My Aurander streamer has a QSA Black/Red fuse. Does this mean I shouldn't connect the Aurender to a power source with a Veridion power cable? Does this mean I should replace the fuse if I use a Veridion power cable?

The Discovery Veridion AC power cable will certainly enhance realism even when used alongside other QSA treatments. However, for the highest benefit, we recommend using it on its own. Trying it both with and without the other QSA treatments will give you the best sense of its impact.

Hi there,
the shipment was rescheduled, but that’s ok.
I am patient and not perfect too, and so isn’t the world around me but yes, I started to feel bit uncomfortable.
Finally got the shipment within less than 24 hours from Belgium to Poland. DHL - great job.

It’s been four days since plugged 3 ac cords, power strip and 2 dc cables.
Just sat now to have a quick glimpse of what is going on, and this is quite spectacular indeed.
The feeling of openness and quiet altogether is a kind of revelation. Just like with full range speaker I have that sensation that there is nothing twisted across all frequencies.
There is a lot of energy present at each note.
You hear a group of individual people clapping in the audience, not „the clapping” and so on…
At low volumes you hear more.
Need more time to evaluate resolution, but I’m quite impressed at the moment.
I like to have somewhere one Oyaide 079 plug - it’s just my kind of flavour, especially on piano and vocals, but It’s easy to find a place for it across the system.
Looks so promising
Anas I will contact you to order one more ac cords to ship with Ethernet.

Hello,

After a snow storm delayed my delivery by a day, I received my QSAL order yesterday while I was at work. Fortunately someone was home to bring the package inside to acclimate.

Got home around 6pm, installed at 6:30pm, then went for supper. I installed a coax cable for the cable modem plus a DC cable and PC for the iFi elite PS for the ubiquity 2.5gb switch that feeds the rest of the house. My Asus router only has 1 x 2.5gb port otherwise I would have used these directly on the router. There is an ethernet cable too but that needs replacement, hopefully next week.

Starting with the home theatre (my cable box is IPTV), not coax. Amazing improvement in picture quality. It's that sense of realism and 3D - like faces have depth to them for the first time. It's quite hard to believe actually. Other picture qualities have improved as well but they were already better when I bought the DC for the switch feeding the living room.

Now getting to the hifi. Quite a large improvement in imaging and soundstage. Music and effects flying around. Dynamics have improved, even with high rez files. Music hits harder and bass lines are tighter again. The presence factor is truly startling in my system. This realism is hard to describe.

I don't really have enough words. Throw in ecstatic, orgasmic, in disbelief, and you get the general idea of how I feel. And yet the price is very, very reasonable. Great job Anas.

Oh and I forget his biography, but I suspect Anas has an MBA, whether earned or honorary. He also sent an HDMI for testing which I will add in a week or so. I don't think it will go back

Will report more after this weekend and a few days of burn in.

One more thing I forgot to mention and should - I got an extra cable because of deleyed shipping.
No need to mention that prestige factor of Veridion Discovery appearance is ZERO. And that’s cool.
You’ll get surprised by the sound.

As an audiophile, I know how difficult the waiting can be. Our push to debut Veridion at AXPONA exposed weaknesses in our shift from small-batch to mass production, and the early batches reflected that. Since then, we’ve made substantial improvements and the process is now far more stable. Thank you for your patience and for the feedback that helped us get there.

“Revealing the Hidden Potential” is really what we believe this technology can do, and every new user who discovers that joyful improvement reminds us why the effort behind this journey has been worthwhile.

We do our best to make up for any delays, in the same way I would hope to be treated if something I ordered arrived late.

Our choice to use very basic cables for the Discovery series is completely deliberate. We wanted to remove variables like conductor purity or complex cable designs, so using Monoprice cables was actually ideal. This way, any improvement you hear in audio or you see in video is due solely to the Veridion technology itself.

As mentioned earlier, we’ve found that the network sits at the very top of the priority list, with the router delivering the largest improvement in terms of magnitude of impact. The benefits of using the Discovery Series power and signal cables in the network path carry downstream to the rest of the system. I can’t emphasize enough how important the Discovery Veridion power strip is, it forms the foundation for everything that follows.

The router will be one of the first components added to the Discovery Series. The results we’re seeing in the R&D cycles are even harder to put into words than what you are trying to describe with the cables. A Roku streamer will also be among the first new components to join the line.

The improvement in realism is striking. With movies, the sense of presence can be so lifelike that it stays with you for days afterward. And with live music, when the audience begins to clap, you can actually sense the individuality in each person’s gesture—you feel not just the sound of the claps, but the emotion behind them.

I'm also having a "holy crap" moment after receiving another 2 AC cables. I'd been stingy with the placement of my first order of AC cables from earlier this year, hedging my bets by choosing to put them on peripherals instead of main components. The first of the two new cables went on my Galileo SX Ground Block, and with 0 burn in the impact was hugely positive. About an hour later I put the second cable on my DAC. I won't bother explaining what I'm hearing because it's already been said in this thread enough. I shouldn't be this surprised by these cables, since I already have 8 other cables and a distributor in use. I guess the point about no diminishing returns really holds true.

A big thanks to Anas & @romaz for the continued efforts with the Veridion Discovery line, as well as @Blake, @Willgolf and other early adopters who shared their full loom impressions and comparisons against other top tier cables. My next step will be to complete the AC loom.


In other news, I'd reached the mythical 1000 hour burn in mark on the DC extensions a few days before the AC cables arrived. For whatever reason, these were a wilder burn-in rollercoaster for me, but they're keepers as well.

We are in the advanced stages of R&D to bring audio and video components with Veridion into the Discovery Series. Preparing these products for production requires significant investment in specialized manufacturing equipment.

We truly appreciate everyone who has experienced the impact of the Discovery Series and is helping spread the word here and across relevant forums and platforms. Increasing awareness not only helps others discover the joy this technology can bring, but also plays an important role in securing the resources needed to accelerate the release of the upcoming products.

The feeling of openness and quiet altogether is a kind of revelation. Just like with full range speaker I have that sensation that there is nothing twisted across all frequencies.

This is what I meant when I shared that the Discovery Veridion power strip lowers the noise floor without introducing trade-offs in the frequency range, something power conditioners struggle with, regardless of price.

Any design that relies on filtering, no matter how advanced, must work within the physical limits of the conductors. Designers can mitigate some of those limitations, but there are always compromises. Veridion takes a different approach: it alters the conductor itself. This allows improvements without running into the usual trade-offs.

Most manufacturers turn to higher-purity conductors to reduce these compromises. Veridion achieves the highest impact with the low-purity conductors. The use of the Amazon power cables and a basic power strip for the Discovery Series demonstrate how impactful Veridion can be, even surpassing the performance of high-purity, complex designs.

Will you ever consider selling Veridion version of speaker cables and interconnects made by World's Best Cables? I think both are very well made and very affordable (own them). Giving them Veridion treatment and selling them as a base model would be incredible.

Both speaker cables and interconnects are in the pipeline and will soon join the Discovery series.

I have to relay something that I noticed that really took me by surprise

My 2nd order arrived which included 2 AC power chords. I put one on my server and one on my Unifi Dream Machine router which has a C7 chord (using an adapter). This is the first cable that hits my home theater. I started burn in on my main audio system and forgot about it.

Watching TV later that night on Apple TV 4k I noticed something quite startling. Why was all the music in these shows suddenly so much better? I really could not believe the improvement in the sound quality: Depth, realism and separation. Liquid in nature. And this is just a modest home theater (Marantz AVR, Def Tech speakers, PS Audio P5). The video seemed slightly better but the audio was dramatic. No burn in to speak of. Same for the Roku.

The only thing that changed in this home theater chain was the Discovery AC chord on that router. Impressive

I wonder if others are seeing the improvement larger on the audio side vs video in this application

Hello Anas - considering adding a power strip to my network area. Can you tell me if there is isolation between outlets? Can you have noisy network equipment and audio equipment on the same power strip and not degrade the sound?

The impact of the router cascades downstream. Adding the Discovery Veridion Ethernet cables elevates the experience to another level, not only increasing the magnitude of the improvements, but also changing the nature of the impact itself. Here’s an analogy to help explain the impact of the different components in the audio chain: Post #1,004

I wonder if others are seeing the improvement larger on the audio side vs video in this application

Powering video components with the Discovery Veridion AC or DC extension power cables, together with the HDMI cable, has a big impact on the video experience. The ultimate experience is achieved through an end-to-end connection of the power and signal chains. Each cable with Veridion technology that is added to the setup brings a new level of performance delivering a surprise beyond what has been experienced before. This technology allows each component to operate at its optimal performance level—beyond what even the component manufacturer may be aware is possible.

Hello Anas - considering adding a power strip to my network area. Can you tell me if there is isolation between outlets? Can you have noisy network equipment and audio equipment on the same power strip and not degrade the sound?

The Discovery Veridion power strip does not feature isolation between outlets. The Southwire power strip used as a base has a robust build, but its design is relatively basic. Using a dedicated power strip for network components can certainly help with the overall results; however, I would recommend prioritizing daisy-chaining two power strips first, as this approach further lowers the noise floor delivering a big impact.

 

[Iamrael]

Hi Anas,
I'm trying to wrap my head around this.
Since this basic power strip isn't designed to filter out or lower noise at all, are you advertising that the (added) Veridian technology lowers only the "bad" noise and leaves the "good" noise alone, or does it lower the bad but also actually raise the "good"?
Put another way, how the heck is the relative noise differentiated from the rest of the signal?
Since the noise floor can be measured with the right meters can you quantify the effectiveness?
