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

Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
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. http://s1097.photobucket.com/user/grannyring1/library/CPT%20300%20mod?sort=3&page=1 |
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. |
