Reaching for Everest!!

With a great offer from MasterLu, I am now the proud owner of a new Shunyata Everest. It has replaced my Denali 6000/S v2 which I thought was incredible. Incredible until I connected the Everest. Holy cow! Not sure I have ever heard one component make such a monumentally positive impact from the first moment it was connected.
My new Everest is connected to a dedicated 20 amp circuit via a Shunyata Sigma XC power cord. It is powering my Bricasti M21 Pre/DAC, Antipodes K-50 server and JL Audio CR1 crossover. My mono amps remain connected direct to individual 20 amp circuits. I have connected 12 gauge copper wires from the M21 and both M28 monos to their own CGS terminals on the Everest. I did this before powering everything up. No turning back now. I intend to connect the Antipodes K-50 to a CGS terminal once I confirm a few things with Antipodes. Immediately after queuing up Jacqueline du Pre playing the Elgar Cello concerto I could hear something positive had occurred. Everything about that piece was better. Huge and more cohesive soundstage, inner detail and more texture/weight on the cello. Moving to Brombo from David Bromberg, the dynamics of the initial drum solo was off the charts and the bass was fuller and cleaner than ever. This is a part of the musical range I spend a good deal of time on. The improvement was fantastic. I could go on but suffice it to say this may be the most impactful ‘component’ level improvement I have made to any system I have ever owned. Perhaps more than moving to my old Strads or even my new Kharma dB-11S. If you are on the fence, talk to Ivan. He pulled some strings as usual and delivered my unit quickly. Couldn’t be happier. |

Excellent comments. What a fantastic component. Your grounding system also seemed to add to the SQ.

I wish I had some place to put one of these damn things.
