Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner

I have been a happy Everest user for about 4 years. I was offered an in-home demo of two 30 amp Typhon 2s. I did the kind of evaluation I didn't do with the Everest. I first added one with both cords plugged oof my Gryphon Antileon EVO plugged into onee Typphon 2.  The sound was better, but only slightly. When I added the second Typhon 2 using the two 30 amp umbilicals, one for each side of the Gryphon, the amp opened up with more headroom and air. This change was significantly better than the two cords being plugged into the Everest or plugged into the two dedicated 20 amp AC wall sockets. As my system is quite limited in terms of AC plugs, I use the two umbilical cords for the amp and the four ac sockets on the back of the Typhons for my streamer,DAC and switch. The power to my amp has made a significant inprovement in the dynamics and tone with sibilence virtually gone. The power chain I have now is each Typhon 2 has it's own dedicated 10G wire 20amp breaker, the Typhon 2s plug into a double duplex box and each is loaded with the umbilical cord for the Typhon 2 and two Purons and a Snubway, a Swiss Digital fuse is connected to the outgoing 30 amp umbilical, the outbound end of the SDF is connected to an Audioquest Variable Power Dragon which is plugged into the amp. The amp has Graphene suggos that are made safe to use with the properly programed SDF. This is a very large investment in power, but it produces a stress free sound that I love. 

This is why I sold my Everest.

@wokeuptobose, someone is obsessed with power, LOL!  How did you feel about the performance of the Everest, and did you do all of the dedicated lines before or after the Everest?  What PC did you use for it? Also, I currently have a TippLite Isolation Transformer for my preamp and DAC, Pass 250.8 into the wall and I have a Puron plugged into the TrippLite and into a wall outlet.  Did you try putting one of the Purons into the Everest?

I wasn't always a believer. I bought a 3000K shunyata conditioner and 5 first gen shunyata Venoms. I was very unimpressed. I bought this gear as I had a voltage surge and turned that into a WAFactor for support to buy it as protection. I was a follower at the time, reading reveiws and taking them as truth... I then started up the Shunyata power cord ladder. Alpha gen 1 followed by Sigma Gen 1 then all Sigma V2. Frankly, I didn't do a pre-purchase listen to the Everest before I bought it, so I'm not the best before and after person for that product. I did listen like a crazy person to all the cables, all as I was supposed to...each on its own, back and forth. Over time the resolution of my system has improved. My wife and I have a huge problem with sibilence/harsness/brightness. I am convinced that Shunyata's house sound 4 years ago (certainly the NR) products were focused at taming grunge, espsially digital. When you see a gen 1 dCS Vivaldi and SS electronics in Shunyata's sound room it's easy to understand why they felt they needed to round the sound. I've never seen a tube in there, but maybe they have more diverse equipment than I have seen.

I was able to try a full loom of AQ Dragon power cords and they changed my ideas about Shunyata being the best cords for my emerging system. I also tried an XLR dragon between my Gryphon and Lampizator DAC. Before the change to the Typhon 2s and the Dragon power cords, it was too bright, a little too much on female voices. After the power revision to Typhon/dragon and SDFuses, I tried the Dragon XLR again and its wonderful. I'm not dissing Shunyata as I'm sure their new cable generation will address this rounding.

I have had three dedicated lines for about 5 years. Each terminted with 2 duplex outlets per box. 

Sorry I am rambling, but this is pretty involved. Yes, I put the purons in the Everest and I highly recommend that and them. I have 6 of them and they make the sound very enjoyable without any side effects I can hear. I put them everywhere I have an open outlet. I think I had two in the Everest in the bottom two outlets.

I've wondered the same as I signed up on HiFiShark a few months ago to be notified when one becomes available for sale.  I have received a LOT of emails on these.  I haven't tried one but did trial an open-box Eiger from Music Direct.  It made an immediate improvement in my system.  I ended up going with a used Hydra Triton V1 for $1300.  I didn't have it at the same time as the Eiger but it also made an immediate improvement...but not quite on the same degree as the Eiger.  It seems like around $6000-6500 has been a good price lately so if you can afford that and the PC, go for it!  Clearly you can resell it if you are not impressed : )

I have an Everest and it was a major improvement in sound over the Triton V1 I had prior. I think it’s worth the cost especially buying used.
