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.
I agree a excellent power cord I have one for the Core 1800 which just opens up another realm with my whole sudio system I just bought 2 more power cords for amp pre amp. ALL core products highly recommended.
@t_ramey, When I received my 1800, I took the 300 out of my two channel system and moved it to a different room where I use the 300 with a power strip and plug my flat screen TV and Oppo BDP-105 into it.
I did not find an advantage when I tried the 300 out of the 1800 to a component.
Balanced power works for me. When the funds become available I will be purchasing the 1800 for my amplifiers. I have a BPT 3.5 Sig + on my front end and I agree, balanced power should be considered the foundation of a music system. The whole theory of common mode noise reduction is a scientifically proven advantage which is hard to overlook. Mark is doing the community a great service bringing this to the hobby at a reasonable price.
