Shunyata Research Announces Everest

15 amp fuse... Just saying... That tiny little wire surely must be a very tight squeeze for all those electrons after a FAT power cord... :)

i'm an apartment dweller ( no dedicated lines, and whole rig on one 20a circuit).

so based on the Qr/BB technology, does it argue for everest over denali in order to have more headroom built into the conditioner? --which, if theory holds, that would also argue for an Omega XC over a Sigma (per the larger gauge conductors)?

I don't know what you mean by "headroom".

The QR/BB device in Everest is 3X larger than in Denali V2. The larger QR/BB device is a reservoir of charge for the components and the benefits from this larger device than in Denali is quite significant. The benefits from using an Omega XC are clearly audible, the presentation at the same gain setting on the preamp is measurably louder with increased dynamics and immediacy. The CMode filter in Everest, which is not present in Denali v2, also brings audibly significant benefits.

If memory serves, the Everest 8000 uses a hydraulic electromagnetic breaker rated for 30A, not a fuse. So, your comment about "electrons after a fat power cord" does not apply.

Agreed regarding the Everest itself (I continue to disagree with the position that a $10k power cord is required to get the benefits of the Everest). It doesn't matter if you're in an apartment (I'm in one atm). The Denali is not in the ballpark of the Everest, such that other than maybe giving a hint of what is possible, the Denali is not in any way going to give you a sense of what your system will sound like with the Everest.
 
two things:
A) my luxman separates do not have fuses (or ground lugs on the IEC for that matter) and
B) aftermarket fuses are very audible (none moreso than that in my PS10)
 
I watched a recent interview with Caelin and the San Francisco Audiophile society(excellent interview) where he said that if you DO NOT have dedicated lines, you should plug your amplifiers into the Everest. However, if you do, you should plug your amplifiers into the wall dedicated line duplexes. For more high current availability I believe is how he put it.

So, does anyone here plug their amps into the Everest?

Being that the Everest has a 30A breaker, what happens with transient peaks that are let's say 50A.

I have two amps, and each amp is on a dedicated 20 amp line. At first the amps were directly connected to the wall socket. Later I acquired two Denali 2000, one for each line, and the improvement in sound was obvious. Much better having the amps plugged into the Denali. Of course, it was more expensive adding two Denalis and two more power cords, but worth it.

yes, 2 powerful monos powered from it.
no limits and i find it better than from the wall. everest rocks!!

30a x 240v = 7200watts
not sure how much that calculation matters though. maybe different ballgame in usa with 110v?

Really? 2 Denali's and 2 Sigmas? That's A LOT of coin! You could have bought a new pre amp for that much!

Briefly, what did that arrangement bring vs amps plugged into the wall.

Did you ever consider selling all of it except one Sigma XC and buy an Everest?

I have two dedicated lines, and one Integrated amp. I always plugged my amps in the wall, in one of my dedicated lines, the second for everything else. When my Everest arrived, I plugged my amp on it, and it sounded better. I was amazed. Everything I have is now plugged into Everest.

It has been a few years since I added the Denali to each amp, so I have forgotten the specifics. I just remember the sound was better. More open, and clearer.

I consider power to be the foundation of a stereo. The better the foundation then the better the stereo, no matter what gear is being used. Any piece of gear will perform better with good, solid power.

Since I am retired now my income is less than when I was working. So, I will wait for the next generation of Shunyata gear before I think about upgrading.
 
Myself and Puma Cat have. The Everest builds on everything the 6000Sv2 gives you and just takes it to another level. More depth, blackness, layering.

There is typically a fuse in the audio gear... You know, the ones audiophiles like to also change...

Typically does not mean always. And there are many different ways to provide a specific functionality; this is the foundational basis of TRIZ. And knowing how meticulous and methodical the folks at Shunyata Research are, they've gone through all of them to implement the safety features in a manner that does not compromise core functionality or audio performance.

I do. Works great, and sounds amazing with the benefit of the massive QR/BB device in the Everest.

Yup.

QR/BB device.
 
I don't think there is anything wrong with questioning the Everest. I think this whole power conditioner, power purifier, power regenerator whether a coffin sealed box or not, is a nebulous subject.

It's on the same level as power cables...

I need to get a power device and need to learn about them all. Thank you.

I have no reason to hate any company. I have Shunyata and Transparent in my system as well as many other brands from decades of experimenting. Asking how the tiny fuse fits into the scheme of things after a python sized power cord is hating?

I explained to you why, but as I expected, you don't listen. And if you really have no interest in "python sized power cords" then why bother posting in threads dedicated to those very "python sized power cords"?

And if anyone wanted to really read your typical blabbering on snake oil, and audio BS (stuff you likely save in your desktop and ready to copy / paste), there are better places to do that, places that you brought up many times around here and across the Internets.

Bottom line: what are you trying to accomplish? Stop with "asking questions", "want to learn" BS. It's a lame excuse to spew your snake oil screeching, and you KNOW it
 
This morning, I am fondly remembering the good old days of civility.

I sure love my Everest/Omega XC. I’m certain it was a big part in my digital sounding sooooo good.
