Is There Some Problem With Shunyata's Everest Power Conditioner

I don't have one but I have had a Denali for a few years and it cleaned up the sound noticeably but not to jaw dropping level.  They are a very simple device.  I don't know how they work, but if you're looking for something that runs the electricity through chokes, power supplies, etc., etc., the Everest is probably not it.

@tomcy6, I have been looking for a Denali v2 which is substantially less expensive than the Everest.  Neither the Denali nor the Everest use chokes, and all of that. They both appear to have some real technology, not mumbo jumbo.  Whether that tech works or not is a different story.  Probably comes down to how resolving the system is I suppose.  This seems like something that one should demo if at all possible.  Would you say that your Denali was worth the cost?

Hello @moto_man, about a month ago I ordered a Denali v2 while 20% off from music direct.  I got it to take to my weekend home which has much more power outages and thunder storms.  Since it was delivered to my main house, I decided to try it out here first.  I left my Audionet Max amps plugged into one dedicated 20 amp outlet and then plugged the Denali into my other dedicated outlet.  Into the Denali I plugged in my Mola Mola Makua preamp with onboard Tambaqui DAC, My Grimm MU1 Streamer, and TV.  I have Revel Salon 2 speakers in this system.

Everything immediately sounded better.  Clearer, cleaner, crisper, better soundstage, better defined from top to bottom.  My wife perked up not knowing what I had done and said wow.  So I then took it to the Lake and had the same experience.  So I ordered a second Denali v2.

Interestingly, I did try it in my reference system, where I have YG Hailey speakers and uber fast and resolving Audionet Stern and Heisenbergs.  I actually found the Denali here to be a bit much and not needed. 

…at the Lake house I used the Denali to power my Soulnote A2 integrated amp,  Auralic Altair streaming DAC, AND CD player.  The amp showed no issues being run through the Denali, only clearer sounding.

This seems like something that one should demo if at all possible. Would you say that your Denali was worth the cost?

Hi moto_man, Definitely demo it if you can. Like most things the effect will vary from system to system as fastfreight discovered. I bought mine used and I don’t have the price I paid available, but yes it was a big enough improvement that I think it was worth it.
