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.......

@tbg, My brother did very well in Brisbane and unfortunately passed away three years ago. I would have gone there to see how things are on the other side of the world but his passing changed that idea. Anyhow, all of us have budgets and the price of the HF can't be grasped. Guys are re-mortgaging they're houses for some of these cords which is outrageous. There is a limit to things in life and everyone sets that themselves(or they're wives do-lol).
   
I presently just added another CPT 150 onto my dual mono amplifier and it is stunning. My soundstage is bigger, more isolation of the instruments-singer-band members, more focus. It has only had 15 hours and it is getting better. I did notice volume seems to be louder than it was with previous cord........stunning........

bacardi, the HFCs have thousands of magnets in them with each new series having many more. These are rare earth magnets and are expensive. Also assembly of these cords is labor intensive. I once asked Rick Schultz whether there was a point where there were demising returns in terms of magnets. He said no, but that manufacturing and cost were limiting factors. Probably he is there with the new Pro series and fortunately it is hard for me to believe  that more could be better.

I will never buy HF. I am all for CPT and keeping my house and all. At some time there will be a test done between the HF $4000 cord and CPT's $600 cord. And I have my bets which one most would dive for....................Core Power Technology..

Hi corepowertech, can you elaborate on the construction and science behind your product?

I gave Mark a call today to let him know that he needs to follow this thread. Both CPT & EP are so busy making & shipping product, there can be a short delay in a response, but Mark will respond. Check my earlier post for a brief take on how the E=Q cords work. CPT now has 1800 W and 1200W cords ready to go for those of you who wanted more current draw. You can use a WW Matrix AC outlet strip to allow for 6 AC cords to be plugged into one E=Q cord, your entire front end, and if you are using an efficient Class D amp ( EP 100.2SE, W4S, Red Dragon) perhaps the entire system.
