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.......

First a question then an observation.

Has anyone been able to contact Mark or anyone from Core Tech? I have sent numerous emails, phone messages and I even sent messages through the Audiogon system with no reply.

My observation and a concern is that the 300 watt version that I have has NO ground connected at the output. With a power strip I plugged in a voltage tester and it shows an open ground. Thinking that my power strip may be the problem, I then tried an adapter to convert the IEC end to a AC 3 prong. Again, the voltage tester shows an open ground. Is this normal? Now maybe the transformer grounds the unit, but everything else after that has no ground.

Mark is under the weather after trying to attend RMAF and get the big E=Q units ready to ship. He will return all communication soon, he just needed a couple of days to recharge. Please be patient, he feels the weight of the unanswered calls & emails and will answer them soon.

klh007,

So Mark is Core Tech?  I thought he was the rep.

Greetings...

I apologize for being quiet these last few days @ozzy - the only message I have from you was an audiogon message which I had planned to reply to today. I do now see you have e-mailed about the Ground --- We DO have Ground 

We are going to ship some units today (at last). We have met many challenges with getting the new units out. I apologize - 

We just had RMAF - I had Distributors in from all over the world. It was fun, but exhausting. I'm loathe to share too many personal details on ANY forum - but I just learned that out lay-out and design Engineer in Canada passed away suddenly today of a heart attack. He was in his late 20's. My Sister is gravely ill in Los Angeles and my wife has to go to the WA area due to a family emergency. Life is full of many challenges. 

Kemp is correct - I'm also fighting some continuing health issues. I'm on a new regimine and I know I will in tip-top shape shortly.

I always have to fight the urges to ship even though I know something is not 100% correct. Our dealer (Underwood Hifi) has paid orders and of course I want to (WILL) fulfill those first. (And I will)... I've communicated with several of you about the small and niggling problems we faced - but they have been all solved and we can ship. I personally apologize to all of you for the quiet. We are a very small company and in my case EVERYTHING must be beyond perfect. I have refused to take any deposits myself at Core Power. In the future I will remind my dealers not to take paid in full orders (in advance) until they have left the building. In the end... I have only myself to blame. 

Sadly - sometimes life deals us imperfection...

With very best wishes to you all...

Mark

Mark,

I disagree, I have left at least 3 phone messages and many more emails.

But, that being said, please answer the question as to why the 300 watt shows an open ground at its output. Is mine defective? Can anyone else confirm that the IEC end has no ground signal?
