Shunyata Research Announces Everest

DTCD and ASCC was clear to me, I was just curious if there was the with/without ASCC test value specifically as it was also demonstrated for the direct mains vs cheap power cable. I expect it was not tried for the conditioners

We have run tests on power strips, conditioners, switches, breakers, contacts, various wire types etc. Basically everything in the current path has been tested separately and as sub-assemblies.

Common power strips, as used for computers, test particularly poorly with DTCD reductions as high as 40-50%. Of course this depends on the manufacturer and model. Some better than others. This is why we built the Venom PS8 - to provide a power distributor that doesn’t significantly degrade DTCD.

Any and all series connections between the electrical panel and the component ‘decrease’ DTCD.
This includes the electrical panel breakers, in wall wiring, wall sockets, power strips (conditioners) and power cords.

DTCD means Dynamic Transient Current Delivery

So, the only question is “how much loss” is incurred with each of the connections. This is why it is important to maximize DTCD for each power related component and cable.

How does someone maximize DTCD for/from the breakers? Is there a special breaker or company that makes maximum DTCD breakers? I looked at your website to see if Shunyata makes those breakers but those were not a product.

We design and/or manufacture the wire, connectors, buss bars and patented or proprietary parts that are used in our products.

No, we don’t manufacture breakers. We test many different brands and models and select the parts that have superior DTCD. There are measurable and significant differences. In addition to measuring each component or part we also listen to each part to select those that sound best.

In case you are wondering, we don’t make resistors or capacitors either. But just like any part we use, we test many from all available sources to find those that perform best.

Clear, thank you.
 
I understand. And I don’t mind answering questions.

But when someone asks brief, open ended, questions I have no idea what their Technical background is or their current level of knowledge about our products So it is difficult for me to know what to say without writing a long white paper. So if you provide more context about what you know and what you don’t quite understand, then I can more effectively get you the answer you are looking for.

Also, this is a dealer forum, not Shunyata Research technical support. I don’t hang out here all the time. I just check in periodically, usually in the evening if I have a moment. So, don’t get offended if I don’t always answer a question. You are not being dissed - I just didn’t see the post. If you have a technical question about our products and need an authoritative answer, call our customer service or send an email. That way you will get the information you need.
 
I just obtained a brand new Everest and Sigma XC. My Denali 6000v2 and old Sigma XC were moved to my second system. After a one hour warm up I listened and, to be honest, I was underwhelmed. The sound was not as smooth as with the Denali. Ops, I missed the break in part in the Owners Manual. Now I'm running a light and a fan to break in the Everest.

For those owners out there, how long does it take to start approaching full break in?

Though it's on my short list, I don't own the Everest yet, but from what I understand the Shunyata KPIP process takes care of the hard-burn in period, but it still takes about two weeks to settle in.
 
I just upgraded from the Denali V2 to the Everest last week and right out the box there was so much more spaciousness/ airiness. This afternoon I will get better feel for it as I will be the only one in the house.

You have been busy! Some big upgrades - bet it'll all sound great!

It's defintely getting there thanks to Mike and SunCoast, I was on a 5 year sabbatical from buying stuff. But now that all 4 kids are graduated from college, I can concentrate on the retirement system.
