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?

@OP - I specifically wanted the Typhon for my power amps but I'll be adding a Denali or Everest for the rest of the system. My dealer never has a problem with loaning equipment for home trial. BTW I have no obvious issues with mains quality  and my power installation it top class - four dedicated spurs running from a dedicated consumer unit coming pretty much directly from the meter tails with the power into the house being located on the other side of the listening room wall (in my garage).

In my experience, Shunyata conditioners require a loooong burn-in. I am using some ancient Hydra 4's which definitely have their uses, but I have heard new conditioners that sound like they need more burn-in.

The Everest looks cool, like a big metronome. 

I have a AudioQuest Niagara 7000 (the price has gone way up and  it's in the class same as the Everest ) and Puritan Audio Labs PSM 156

The Puritan Audio Labs PSM 156 is as good as the Niagara 7000 according to my testing. YMMV,

Music direct has a 60 day return policy. Pretty low risk.

This would be a concern for me "Output Current Ratings: Max Current/Outlet: 15A"  my amp needs a 20A supply and at $10K you would think it would be rated to at least 20A. 

It is interesting how they cryo thier parts.as I understand that process it puts atoms in thier proper lattice structure to have better flow and quality.thats the extra mile.enjoy the music
