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.......

Hey Mark of Core; aren't these balanced transformers in-line in the power cords? Are you implementing this topology differently than the others before you and that is why the initial customers are getting good results? I'm curious if users here have never tried balanced transformers and they are now experiencing that versus whether you are implementing it differently and "better". Not an easy question to address, I know.

Units look very sexy btw. Nice craftsmanship.

Nice improvements Devilboy, 

@Lak, that is a pretty pricey "TAD" improvement at $13,000. I do think Core Power Technologies should be proud of contending with something at 13x the price if even better sounding in other systems. Other experiences may differ too as all system are different but I don't think most would settle for the $12,000 difference.

Lak,

It would be interesting if CPT ever came out with a REFERENCE cord at say $1000 and it was even better than their current cord. I not saying that will ever happen but when you start comparing a $800 power cord to a $13000 power cord; that certainly does say something about the "law of diminishing returns". Glad to hear you like the CPT cord.

Lak,
Did you try both the CPT 300 and the HF CT-1 Ultimate Reference Helix power cables on the HF MC-6 power distributor?  I guess I am curious how the CPT sound on the HF power distributer.

Thank you.
