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.......

@calloway , great informative review. I do agree that the CPT 300 does indeed further break in past 100 hours as do the 150's which brings them to an even greater level.  And maybe the CT does too but I haven't had the pleasure of trying one.
In regards to Lak's comment to the readers, the reviewer above was very intuitive, technical and honest. If what lak is saying is true, I would hate to think what this magnetic conduction is doing to the components in ones system....

Guys, all I’m saying (and I’m not trying to say anything negative about any of you or the hard work you put into reviews or comparisons) is I’ve learned that there are lingering effects that are present for several days and that might (usually does) add to the sonic signature of other power cords that’s being substituted for the HF power cord.
Just be aware of that.
If I stepped on anyoes toes I appologize.
Peace...

Hi lak,

Would your suggestion be to put the CPT cord on first for the test after the HF cord is fully broken in.  Maybe put the CPT cord on for about a week after the HF cord is broken in? Than do the comparison that way? The reason I ask is because I do have a couple of clients in the US with HF power cords and they told me that when they bought the cords originally they thought the cords were having an effect on their electronics but now they are not so sure.

I know for myself, I do not do any critical listening on any new products because the sound of that product changes with time and I do not want to give myself any false impressions. I am really looking forward to hearing the HF cord because of all the great press.

lak have you actually tried the CPT cords, just curious?

Cheers,

Robert, I purchased a CPT 300 and I've had it on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker, Anniversary Edition 3.5 CCGR since Friday 5/20. I don't doubt that it's going to be a keeper.

I don't think it's really going to matter what order you do your comparisons with the power cords because it's a no win situation. Just be aware of the lingering magnetic conduction and/or when inserted the slow start up of the HFC.

You probably don't recognize my moniker, because you deal with an unlimited number of people but I've purchased several HiDiammond products from you over the years, most of which I still use in my various systems ;-)
