Yes. Why? Because the large QR/BB device(s) in my Shunyata Everest power distributor (PD) provides considerable charge "on demand". Why is this important? Well, when the full-wave bridge rectifiers in the amp's power supply (PS) snaps open during demanding or challenging passages, due to reactance*, less charge is actually available when the power supply rectifiers pull hard on the mains. This means the amp's power supply is getting less charge, and, it's getting less charge just...when it needs it the most!

The QR/BB devices in Everest and Denali provides a large reservoir of charge when needed during those demanding passages and ameliorates the impact of reactance. This makes the presentation much more dynamic, lifelike, and engaging.

* – Reactance is the measure of the opposition to the flow of alternating current caused by the inductance and capacitance in a circuit
