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.......

Interesting observation and I don't doubt what you say for a second.
I have a CPT 300 powering a Blue Circle FX2 XOe6 AC Line Filter (a sophisticated six way power outlet). I run my transport, Dac and FM (tube) tuner from it. Using CD's that I have used for years and know very well for comparisons regarding different audio equipment, I have heard a few details in the music that I've never heard before. Was a real shocker to me in a good way!

Thanks for your note here. We love the new corner extrusion and it allows us to make an even better solid package. 

Please note that the "guts" are 100% identical... :)

Thanks so much,

Mark

After reading through this discussion and all of the praise for the CPT, I thought I would give one a shot.  Honestly I did not think it would do much for my system.   I already had a Shunyata Anaconda, Shunyata Hydra 6 as well as Triode Wire Lab cables throughout, but thought that maybe running a CPT in to my Hydra 6 may help.

After contacting Mark I had him help me out on what size CPT I needed to plug in to the Hydra 6 to run my front end(Ayre KX-5 Twenty Preamp, Oppo105, Classe SSP800, DirecTV and Xbox one).   He was incredibly helpful and even responded back to my emails on Sunday, even though I insisted it was fine to get back to me on Monday.   We settled on the CPT300, which I received a week later.

Right out of the box I really did not expect to hear much a difference and, even if I ever did, the differences would be very subtle.  All I can say is, "WOW".   Seriously, everyone is right when they say that the backgrounds are blacker and you are able to hear things you have not heard before.   After listening to the same songs probably hundreds of times before I was surprised to hear new things and a real separation between the instruments.   What everyone has not mentioned is how much deeper the soundstage became.   At least on my system it became much more 3D than it has ever been.  

I did not believe a powercord could make that much of a difference, but I was wrong.   Very happy!
