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.......

Anyone compared a Equi = Core 1800 against one of newer  Shunyata Denali model conditioners. They are in different price classes, but still might be an interesting comparison.

I own both, the Equi = Core 1800 and the Denali D2000.
The problem is they are in two different systems.
They are both very good.
I'll have to find some time to move the Denali into my second system (because there is more room) and do a comparison.

That would be really helpful as I'm going to pick up or the other. Isolation from digital components leaking noise from outlet to another plays a big role in my choice. I also intend to plug my power amp, digital front end and preamp all into a single conditioner. I will be using Nordost not Shunyata power cords. I'm also wondering what Deep Core is?

Deep Core is still a mystery and I am looking forward to hearing more about it.
Core Power Tech is suppose to be releasing a statement on the technology with Deep Core soon from what I have read in this thread.
I believe its suppose to eliminate all noise or at least a majority of it going into whatever is plugged into it. I was told that each Deep Core is designed to only feed 1 component at a time. So, you cant plug your whole system into it. Mark seems very excited about it, so I am expecting to hear more good things soon.

Deep Core will be the most effective with source components from my discussion with Mark.

Fast version of the Equi = Core 1800 vs. Denali D2000

Main equipment used in the audition: Allnic T-1500 Integrated 300B Amp, Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 Transport, Yamamoto DA Converter YDA-01, Montana EXP Speakers

My Transport and Dac were the only items plugged into the two power conditioners.

I want to emphasize that both power conditioner are very good, that's why I own both of them.

In my second system (seen above) The Shunyata Denali D2000 was a tad better at giving me more refined micro details and fuller bass, mids, and highs. I want to point out that there is a difference in the price of these two units including different technology that each one uses. One must ask themselves is it worth spending more money for a tad more resolution and detail? It's a personal choice!

I’ve never noticed any improvement using my amp and/or Integrated amp with any power conditioner.

I hope this helps and I hope I didn’t step on anyone's toes.

I also look forward to auditioning the Deep Core Alpha!
