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.......

We have units at Doug's now for testers - but we also know from my last call with Doug that he was quite pleased and he gave me the OK to release the Production Order which I did two days ago when I returned home.

I'm trying to stay caught up - but today Walter (Emerald Physics) is having surgery and I'm watching his phones as well as he has no one to do this. It's been fun... :)

I apologize for being behind. 

To answer your questions directly... small quantities in 3 weeks - 

I have hired and outside builder that makes wonderful audio equipment to be our builder and fulfillment center - Lynn and I are not capable of keeping up. EQUI=CORE builds will take place in CO (still)...

More about this soon...

Best wishes to all

Mark

PS - THANK YOU SIR

Congratulations Mark on Anthony Kershaw's review of your E=Q 1800! Like most of us, he found the quietness and black background enticing, and there is no reduction in dynamics or musical energy to gain the quiet.

Yping, I looked at the Klei power cords you mentioned. Klei is using a special arrangement to enhance the power delivery of the "hot" conductor, and optimize the neutral and ground.
Balanced power does not have a neutral conductor. Instead, there are two "hot" conductors and one ground.
How that cord would work on the output of a balanced transformer is anyone's guess. May be good, but may defeat some of their design.
Now, used on the input of a 1200 or 1800 core Power unit, may give an improvement from both technologies.
The field is wide open. I've heard of one guy putting a Bybee Enhancer inside of a core Power unit, and plugging a HFC MC 0.5 into one of the outlets. He got good results.
Anyone up for trying a Synergisic Tranquility Base under the Core Power unit ?

Quote from calloway: Does anyone have a DC that can give some report on its benefit???

I had a PS Audio unit, did not like it. Also had an Isotek Sigma. Kept the sigma for about a year, then sold it after doing many comparisons and tests.
I hope Core Power is doing something different!

rilbr, The Core Power is doing AC conditioning different than almost everyone else. Bottom line is you get the benefits of blacker, quieter noise floor without the loss of dynamic excitement or musical energy. The additional benefits of improved soundstage, imaging specificity, and instrument separation are icing on the cake! Go to the CPT site, or read back in this thread for a more precise explanation of the E=Q balanced design. CPT has a generous trial policy, no risk, it's really worth giving one an audition.
