Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?

   Considering the many, many brands of power cords I've tried in my very well accomplished high-end system, I have never been so impacted by these Core Power Technology power cords. Within a very short period(15-20) minutes my system literally came alive. Soundstage opened wider and deeper. The background became dead silent, space between instruments and stage members were more focused and everything sounded cleaner and musical than ever. My highs had a glorious crispness and symbols shimmered. Midrange through my 2" horn became more dynamic and punchy. My 15" bass driver tightened and dug low with great control. My Rel G1 which is a fabulous sub on its own but with a CPT 150 on it is another story. Running high pass from my sub to my Audiozen Noah amplifier, music depth is just stunning. Lower end bass is authoritative and clean with solid grip and impact. 
   My experience with these power cords is truly magical. The scary part of the above is I only have one 150 on my sub and one 300 from my wall to my 6 outlet bar. I still need 3 more to complete my system. I could just imagine the level after that...In closing, I cannot emphasize enough to try one of these in your system. I CANNOT and WIIL NOT take these out as they are that good. But hold your jaw, cuz what you've been listening to will just become real after Core Power Technologies. 

Cheers....and let the tapping begin.......

@bacardi I don't considered replacing a captive power cable by a PROFESSIONAL extreme.  The modified unit looks exactly like stock except for a different cable.  
  
Resale value is never a big factor in my purchasing decisions especially at this price.   Furutech FP-S032N $130 per meter and connector $100 each so for parts, $590 total retail.  Excellent ROI!

I doubt upgrading the power cable and connector is a deal breaker with most EDUCATED consumers if they compare to stock.  Yes too each their own!

@knghifi , I myself have a few pricey Furutech products but upgrading each and every power cord could get extremely pricey. Bybee mods inside, Furutech connectors on each end, Furutech cabling on each side of CPT. If one had 4-8 CPT cords like me would amount to unjustifiable amounts. The Akiko products are a very simple ad on and much much cheaper that amounts to no customization of original gear(just in case of resale or upgrade bug). Plug - and - play. Remember : "K.I.S.S" is still a very well known term we've all heard.....

I truly believe this idea is really breaking down an original patent that Mark has very well earned. Add-ons inserted into a system like the Akiko may have a greater overall effect for way less money. Sounds like your tweeks are more than the unit itself multiplied by the number of CPT's in ones system...then you have a waiting period and break in a second time...yikes.....just saying....

Do you build your own power cables? Is there soldering involved?  
Thanks

@agriculturist,
There doesn't need to be any soldering involved.
Can be as easy as cutting and stripping wire and tightening screws.

@agriculturist  lak is correct, no soldering is required with Furutech NCF connectors, just a screwdriver.   Mike Garner built all the Furutech cables for me.
