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.......

Just updating briefly…

 

I’m back at work today – at last. That’s the good part…

 

The bad is I managed to crack a rib on Saturday due to a failed air mattress – very painful… hurts to breathe

 

Our Logistics company failed us and now we are scrambling to find a home for the last 11 pallets that should have left yesterday. I’m loathe to name this company as they have done a real good job to date for us personally as well as Emerald Physics

 

In any event – that’s not stopping shipments which are moving again. We will be out of the building tomorrow – but we have already secured a nice 250 square foot space for us to build and ship until our new “warehouse/office” is ready to move in to.

 

I’m feeling just ok – the medical procedures both went well – but I will need time to heal.

 

Deep Core is coming shortly – Peter Madnick had to go to Toronto for ELAC/Alchemy and he will be home late Wed night. I plan to be in LA Friday through Sunday to launch…

 

Thank you all for your patience and kindness as always…

 

Mark


PS - special letters to those that have waited so patiently through this time. I will of course keep my word about a very special Deep Core price due to the kindness and understanding we have been shown.

I do plan to come back to this thread and the other current thread with comments once I am a bit more settled. 

Thanks all

I just received a used CPT 300 and put it on my music server/computer. Just outstanding is all I can say. Everything folks have already said.

I then did the modifications I have already outlined but kept the power cable stock. I did not change the cable out for the Furutech Alpha Nano bulk like I did on the 150.

- double layer of constrained layer damping throughout the inside and on the underside of the chassis.
- removed metal tranny bolt and metal top plate and replaced with nylon.
- removed all Wago connectors and soldered all connections instead.

Here are the pics. More comments to follow.

grannyring, I just built a 2' Blue power cord (Furutech Nano-Ag-Au, 12 gauge with the imported Copper Rhodium Plated US AC Power Plug Carbon Fiber Connector Adapters) that is powering my Hemisphere. I'm hearing some nice improvements in tone and timbre. the power cord isn't long enough to use with my CPT 1800.

Nice! I found the Furutech cord sounded great after just 4 hours of run in. However, unexpectedly things go south for about 3-4 days ( detailed and somewhat thin sounding) until all is wonderful. This has been my experience three separate burn in times.

Great cords. VH Audio has the raw cable on sale right now.

Has anyone found that their CPT units buzz mechanically? My 150 is silent, but the 300 buzzes away. I had to use softer footers and really clamp the tranny down, however it still buzzes slightly. I wish it did not really. My system is dead quiet except for the  300 buzz.
