Is the EtherREGEN powered by the Denali?
Unpacking the Shunyata Everest 8000

Being too lazy to replicate here, I am just copying what I wrote my friend on the Everest I bought a week ago:
_———-
Godamit!! Every day I come back from work, I am stunned with how good my shit sounds. I cannot believe how much something as simple as a power distributor brings to the table. It’s like getting a new component.
Here are a few things that are clearly audible to me:
1) The timbre is much better. I thought I already were at a very good point, but this brings it to another level. So natural, so realistic. It’s like I am seating in front of an orchestra. That kind of feeling when you hear someone playing a piano or drum, or a guitar next door. That real
2) Dynamics improvement. Everything has a more pronounced impact. Say when the drum hits, you hear and FEEL it hit.
3) Silent passages are dead silent. Like nothing. Zip
4) Even soundstage is improved. Not so much hight or width, but definitely more depth. This is important for me, because of my room, which suffers from lack of soundstage. Everything extra I can get, it helps.

This is due, to large degree, to the massive QR/BB device in Everest; 3X larger than Denali V2 (which in turn has a much larger QR/BB device than Denali V1).
The very large CMode filter in Everest plays a big role, here, too.
Yes, along with OCXO clock from a HDPLEX 300W PSU.
I'm surprised at your report of the benefit of the CGS given the EtherREGEN was powered from the Denali. I thought the CGS becomes redundant when devices are directly connected to it, but others have also reported the same. With my Denali V1 I don't hear any difference, absolutely nothing at all. It's as if it's not there. I would like to try an Everest but I know that is impossible in this market.
brodricj: I'm talking specifically about running a Sigma CGC V2 from the EtherRegen GND post to the Denali 6000T CGS post.
What you have to consider is that from your ground pin in your powercable you enter a PSU of some sort. From that PSU a small(?) DC cable ventures forth into the Etherregen. Now if you are adding and attaching an 8ga Sigma CGC V2 directly to the EtherRegen GND post you are in a different league of conductor size, going straight to the Denali/Everest CGS post. A parallell GND highway with a silver core just opened up.

I know. Which is why I asked if it was powered from the Denali as well.

if you would like to Demo the Everest in your home they are "in stock" today at Music Direct (MD)- you buy it (pay in full) don't like it return within 60 days for a refund (minus shipping costs to you and you pay return shipping) other vendors like The Cable company have a "lending library" I think they run some type of verification on you & you pay 10% down (non-refundable but applies to any future purchase) many people talk about Suncoast Audio being awesome, my only concern is the website says "no returns or refunds" that seems unreasonable as you have no idea what something will sound like in your home... my local Audiophile dealer has a "7 day refunds...30 day exchange policy" which I think is reasonable.. MD has an excessive return exclusion if you are just "buying & returning" everything... common sense applies.. is it OK if i return $10k of Delta cables to spend more on Sigma etc.. shouldn't be a problem
I have already tried MD. I placed my order online and the following day they cancelled it. MD said Shunyata would not let them sell me any of its products.
What? Why? What about consumer protection laws

And do you know why? Time wasters. Tire kickers. Damaged product. We used to do it and had too many people abuse it. The box would come back beat to hell, a giant scratch on it and now it’s an open box unit that nobody wants. The last item we did was a premier DAC for a Doctor in Tallahassee. The Premier came back with gouges on the top as he dragged the spikes from the PSU across the top of it getting it out of his rack. It had to go back to MSB for a whole new chassis and a new box which looked like a dogs breakfast. Before that, a VAC amp. Before that, a Pass X350.8. Before that, a Luxman c900u. I could go on and on. That’s why.
If we know the customer and we have a good relationship with them, we will happily loan out anything and always do. But to folks we don’t know? We’ve stopped doing that after the MSB Premier incident. We are much more like your local dealer for local customers. I hope you support your local dealer. Seems like he has a reasonable policy.

i Just discovered he lives in Australia.. you can't expect a USA Reseller like MD to ship overseas with a "60 day return policy" dealing with shipping & insurance Worldwide tracking "door to door" or trying to get U.S. Customs (or Australia)to waive any Taxes, VAT on both original ship & return etc is a nightmare - Shunyata has an Authorized Australia distributor on their website.. The problem here is Price... for example an Omega Ethernet from an Auzzie reseller MSRP Runs $4500 AZD (or $3425 USA) but the same cable retails for $2500 USA (or $3284 AZD) $1216 savings (not including shipping VAT taxes or duties etc..)
Shunyata never said you are banned from buying our product.. you need to buy it from a distributor/reseller in the country you live in.
No. The problem is the Australian distributor will not sell the Shunyata products I want to buy. There is no way around that, they just won't do it.
To be clear I buy my Shunyata interconnect cables locally, except when they jack up the price by double after I place my order and then I cancel and have to wait 3 months to get a refund of my deposit. What I can't buy are the power cables and power distributors I want. The distributor just won't import them. Period.
Yes, that makes sense, thanks. I am sure MD's territory is just the US

Nor do they even carry power products that will work in Australia. The only Shunyata power conditioners he could even attempt to order wouldn't work anyway.

I suspect there is more to this than what we are reading here. If Shunyata won’t sell, or let anyone ship, to Australia then there must be a reason.

There is an Australian distributor and has been and he has to order through them for new products. He has been told that multiple times but he wants to bypass that process. Australia is not in MD's territory and they only sell products that will work with the US voltage.
You've totally missed the point. I can't buy what I want locally because the local distributor won't import it. The only way around that is to find another distributor somewhere else and buy it from them. MD have the power cables I want. The local distributor does not. Neither will sell to me.
