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.......

@twoleaftears ...I see nothing on the link about Cullen, Only Waudio.
I emailed Cullen out of curiosity in regards to your allegations, be interesting what he say.

Furez is a China product, I wasnt aware of that. Furutech is Japan from what I can find.

Patrick Cullen and Cullen Cables have nothing to do with CPT and never have.  The cable that Mark was selling is being sold on Amazon by WAudio whoever it is sourced from in China.  Order one and try it as you have 30 days to send it back if you  don't think it is the same cable.  As you discovered Furutech is a Japanese company.

It's all good, just wanted to see what materials were made where. Very good chance most vendors use something from China in the gear. I try to avoid Chinese products mostly due to the knockoff thing, but sometimes it's difficult.

@twoleftears thnx again for the insight and link

The Chinese balanced power supply came in and is a very solidly built and nice looking unit. Plugged my plasma into it and the picture quality improved nicely. Out of curiosity I tried it in my audio rig with my transport, DAC and pre amp and was pleasantly surprised by how good it sounded. It's not up to par with my Equitech Son of Q by any means but for those on a tight budget that want to clean up their power you can't go wrong for less than $200 shipped.

A lot of folks in here with much better input than mine. I need to remember that, read and learn. My stuff is entry level, old school, and budget minded.
One thing for sure, definitely don't wanna step on anyone's toes.
I do like Pat's work and materials, I like Mark's gear, and Doug takes his time and explains the various cables and connectors I should consider for my applications.
The CPT a lil more than my budget allows but it's specs and reviews seem very worthwhile.
