Shunyata Everest 8000 + Omega XC vs Audience ar12-t4 + Front-row

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of getting a power conditioner for my whole system. Does anyone have an experience with these two conditioners? They are in similar price Everest 8000 + Omega XC vs ar12-t4 + Front-row, but ar12-t4 provides 6 more isolated sockets (Everest 8000 6 isolated zones). But the most important thing is how the sound quality/dynamic/darkness of both conditioner.

I did extensive research but No one has done a comparison. Also, I have done audition in the both dealers (No direct comparison with same system) and I found both excellent. I cannot get those conditioners for home trial in Hong Kong. So, please share some experience or enlighten me before I pull my trigger. Thanks.

Selling a Omega XC C19 in Mint condition half price, if of interest! AU plug termination, but for this deal worth changing your socket

A little late to this party, and I can’t help you with the Audience gear, but I can state unequivocally that the Everest with an Omega XC will be a fantastic addition to your system. Shunyata gear just has that “right” sound to my ears. I have Sabrina X’s and I’m sure that the Alexa V’s would really sound fantastic with the Everest. In my system, it was like adjusting the white balance on a photograph . . . Everything seemed to be is sharper focus with a black, noiseless background, which really made the smallest details of the music audible in a way that enhanced the realism of the music. It also provided significant depth to the soundstage. No digs against Audience, which is a fine company and likely has a great product as well, but for me, Shunyata just works. Plus, with my Pass amp plugged into it, and all components grounded to the Everest grounding system . .. just excellent. At this time, I don’t want to change a thing!
