Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner


I have been looking for a Shunyata power conditioner, and was thinking of going all the way and picking up an Everest, which is not only stupidly expensive but is the predictable darling of all reviewers, who gush about how wonderful this product is.  However, there are currently SIX Everests for sale on US Audiomart.  For a transformative and expensive product with seemingly universal acclaim, the fact that there six Everests for sale at the same time makes me wonder if maybe it is not so amazing and transformative and people are having buyer's remorse after picking one up.  Comments or insight?

Haven't heard this yet but love all Furutech items.

Have heard it's predisesor the PurePower 6 and while out of my price range it was amazing.

I too have a Denali and love what it has done for my system.  The only reason I do not have an Everest is the cost,

I also have a Denali, vastly better than the PS Audio P10 I had before. Even with a cheap power cord it was better, improvement with better cords. I would like to move up to the Everest, but can't imagine the difference, but I have heard it is a progression over the Denali. I'll test one day. 

Hi,  So I did some comparing of the Everest and the Denali V2 on Shunyata's website.  I had pretty much thought they were very similar except the Everest has 8 outlets vs 6 for the Denali V2, and of course the style difference as to where you place them.  I like getting easily to the back of the Denali vs down there with the Everest. (seems like an oxymoron?).

Anyway, almost ever feature is identical back and forth except a grounding feature:

The Everest has

GP-NR Noise Reduction

Significant amounts of noise exist on the ground plane of power lines. The ground wires can act as antennae, picking up electrical noise that can degrade the performance or operation of the electronic components. Ground Plane Noise Reduction (GP-NR™) is a proprietary technology developed by Shunyata Research to significantly reduce ground-plane noise; improving low-level resolution and clarity. The system includes one to four terminals, depending on the model, to connect as many as 12 audio components. We offer several models of CGC chassis grounding cables each made to your custom length and termination requirements.

The Denali V2 has:

CGS - Chassis Grounding System

Significant amounts of noise exist on the ground plane of power lines. The ground wires can act as antennae, picking up electrical noise that can degrade the performance or operation of the electronic components. The CGS — Chassis Ground System is a proprietary feature developed by Shunyata Research to significantly reduce ground-plane noise; improving low-level resolution and clarity.

Many Shunyata Research power conditioners have one to four terminals that allow all system component chassis to be interconnected to a common earth ground. We offer several models of CGC chassis grounding cables each made to your custom length and termination requirements.

I really think style and number of outlets should be a major deciding factor.
