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.......

Hi lak,

Would your suggestion be to put the CPT cord on first for the test after the HF cord is fully broken in.  Maybe put the CPT cord on for about a week after the HF cord is broken in? Than do the comparison that way? The reason I ask is because I do have a couple of clients in the US with HF power cords and they told me that when they bought the cords originally they thought the cords were having an effect on their electronics but now they are not so sure.

I know for myself, I do not do any critical listening on any new products because the sound of that product changes with time and I do not want to give myself any false impressions. I am really looking forward to hearing the HF cord because of all the great press.

lak have you actually tried the CPT cords, just curious?

Cheers,

Robert, I purchased a CPT 300 and I've had it on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker, Anniversary Edition 3.5 CCGR since Friday 5/20. I don't doubt that it's going to be a keeper.

I don't think it's really going to matter what order you do your comparisons with the power cords because it's a no win situation. Just be aware of the lingering magnetic conduction and/or when inserted the slow start up of the HFC.

You probably don't recognize my moniker, because you deal with an unlimited number of people but I've purchased several HiDiammond products from you over the years, most of which I still use in my various systems ;-)

I think at the end of the day there are cords that need burn in and a settling process, have ups and downs, are plug and play, have good and bad qualities, or just plain out awefull, delicate to movement(most if not all cords), and some that just standout to the rest of the gang. With all my years of listening, component changes & brands of cords I have never heard such an immediate(within 20min.) transformation in sound as I've heard with the Core Power Technologies power cords. They have transformed my system to the greatest level and left me tapping my foot. Even around the 100ish hour and on these cords get better and better.
  In the review with the HF CT-1 IT had a good year of burn-in and settling time and movement can change to a degree as so did the CPT and CT. I can't wait for the review with the same three brands but with a HF CT-1 ultimate priced at $8000.

Thanks for the advice on the HF power cables. We have had several HF RCA interconnects traded in and we did test them to for about a week to make sure they were working properly; they did change sound wise with time but it was not dramatic. Maybe they needed more time on my reference system.

Barcardi the HF power cable we will be testing is the Enhanced, not the Ultimate. I agree with you 100% that the CPT power cable can transform a system and they have certainly taken my reference system to another level. Should be a great comparison test between HF and CPT.
