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.......

@audiolabyrinth, I've tried a lot of cables $5000 and down. Ive tried cables $2000 that were better than $4000 cables. I personally found that cables with technology tended to have more positive affects on my system. I don't believe that sub-par cables at $100/200/300 are going to get it done for me as I've been exposed to really good power cords. In my opinion, most power cords are preference just like speakers and once you find a quality cable matched up to ones system, that's the one you should keep. 

Pricing on CPT Power cords are on the website.

Hi bacardi,  thankyou,  I really would like to listen to the cpt power cord's,  how many hrs do you have on your cpt cord's? , although I've experienced nordost Odin,  taralab's Grandmaster,  high- fidelity power cord's,  etc... I'm opened minded to what's possible for less money,  keep me posted on your impression's of the cpt power cord's,  btw,  for me to use such a power cord as the cpt, it would minimum have to handle 2,400 watts a channel! , that is what my modified krell 700cx amplifier does into 2 ohms  load,  cheers bacardi.

Bacardi, No, I haven’t. The drawback to the CPT cables to me was the low gauge and low current it draws which limits it to low power sources. But, as you mentioned they will have a larger gauge version soon so I would be interested in trying it.

Want to swap a set to audition?

I have long been an audiophile and remember the first audiophile power cord I ever heard of, Duntech. I had to modify a power amp with an attached power cord so that I could use it. Now we are faced with countless pcs. I have probably tried thirty different ones from the first that cost an outrageous $100!

I am now trying the High Fidelity Cables Pros, that are so outrageously expensive that I hesitate to tell anyone. But damn they allow a sound stage that I never thought possible. What to say to those enjoying the CPT? Enjoy them. None of us will ever get to hear a full range of the pcs available. I do remember when I first got a PC from Siltech while I was using one from Radio Shack. The Radio Shack was clearly better and I returned the Siltech. About a year later I saw a new Siltech that looked just like the Radio Shack in construction.

I presently use High Fidelity power cords and have found the recent ones, not surprisingly better. I also find they don't sound at all like other power cords. So some of the differences of opinion maybe just tastes.
