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.......

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!

I bought the Denali 6000S but did not like it. It made the system sound very thin.I was using it on my amps and my Lumin A1..It did some things very well but the thinness was not tolerable..

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.

@knghifi 
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.
