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, I agree. Mileage may vary with power conditioner.
Some guys try them and hear no difference and/or say the power conditioner has a negative effect on their music.
One doesn't know until you try it in your system.

What power cord and vibration control were you using with the Denali? If thinness was really the only issue, I'm sure you could have eliminated it.

The HB Cable Marble is certainly a fine power distributor, at a hefty price. I personally prefer the noise reduction power conditioners offer, but know people that have made the switch.

jay23...i did try a number of adjustments but the thinness remained...i really don't need a pc but was more than anything just fishing.....nothing lost

knghifi....again..i really do not need a pc..as good as the 'HB' is...and i am sure it is very good...as it should be at the price, it would not improve what  my system already sounds like enough to justify the cost..

First off, nice system! I've liked what I've heard of the Tidal speakers.

Did you try a copper power cord? I think if you had tried one of the Shunyata power cords and/or Herbie's ebony domes, you might have eliminated the thinness. Tweaks that can be relevant to the thread. 

Did you also have all of the High Fidelity products in your system, at the time? I and a few others have found HF and Shunyata to not play nice, together. With the HF products I can see why you don't need a conditioner. Although I can see a MC-6 (Hemisphere?) in your future. That, and my friend will be releasing a mod to the 0.5 you'll want.
