Ascending to even greater heights

You need one of these:
Shunyata - 15Amp Cable to 20Amp Component Adapter (ea) | Shop Music Direct
It should be fine if you're using the Everest only for front end. If you also have your amps connected to the Everest, then you need to have your PC reterminated with a 20A IEC (for example: FI-52 NCF | FURUTECH) or purchase a new PC to the wall with a 20A IEC.

I'd avoid if possible using this adatpter as shown above for more than a temporary measure until you find the correct 20AIEC terminated cord.

I have the item in my setup and find it loose fitting -I have to cable tie the two connections to get a firm seating) and frankly poorly made for the asking price--$225USd(?)

Go for the proper terminated cord.

Bingo. Could not agree more. Use the right tool for the right job.
 
ok, thanks a lot again everybody for the advices.
after inspection it turned out that the furutech conneters are not soldered or bond to my powercord, just some screwing is involved. all i got to do is to order the same connceter in the iec19 version. how easy!
very happy not to pay for another pc, mixing brands on top.
 
I'm so impressed with Everest, that I start to think what it would be like to trade the Sigma XC (which I bought for my Denali V2) for an Omega XC.
 
i hope you get the chance to loan an omega xc in the near future to try that out.
would like to do the same one day as they have been developed together

Enjoy your trip. Was there a number of years ago with a group of cyclists. We pedaled our way from Lisbon and spent our time mainly in the Southwest of the country. So many olive groves. Hot and dry when I was there. Seems dinner began after 10pm. Considering the heat, it made a world of sense.

yes, big restrictions in spain. masks even outside!
then again, i need to leave from here with the family. the province i live, 150000 population, basicly had no first wave. one case a week or so, but since this week we seem to be the hottest spot on earth, highest cases of the country and a positivity rate of 40%. still no restrictions here, no masks, clubs and everything open. we face the darkest winter ever. not sure what to do yet.

Stay safe and healthy.
 
Well, I have done the management to test an Omega XC but unfortunately the importer does not have one. I will console myself that the money remains in my pocket and not in Caelin's :D

it might be just a question of time until the distributor will have one. if you ask and others ask...he will get weak
 
Well it is something quite strange. He says that he has ordered an Omega XC with a C15 connector from Shunyata, but that the cable with the C19 connector has very little sale and he does not dare to have it in stock. However, I do not understand that reasoning.
Two types of customers can buy an Omega XC:
1.- Owners of an Everest or Denali V2
2.- Owners of conditioners from other brands. I doubt very much that whoever owns an Audioquest or a Sinergistic Research will buy a Shunyata cable, therefore we have the first possibility and in this case a C19 cable is needed.
 
I was also anticipating a Everest with fewer inputs. Initially (or possibly still) it was called Everest. Now I have seen ads calling it Everest 8000. My thinking was that made room for Everest 2000 or 4000. Thanks for clarifying.

It sounds to me that your dealer could use some training.

The Omega XC was made specifically for the Everest which has a C19 type input.
