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.......

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.

If I put my ear right on my CPT300 I do hear low level buzzing sound. It will only gets louder if my air conditioner kicks in. Is this normal? I hope so.

Unfortunately it does seem as though transformers will buzz. That has been my experience. You may find that 80 or 90% of them don’t buzz, but some of us will always get the buzzers.

i’m going to build a DC blocking circuit and place it inside my 300 to see if that quiets it down.

My system is dead quiet before the 300. I can now hear a very slight buzz when I’m about 10 feet away and not listening to any music. It did it before my modification and my modification helped just a tiny bit.

Wonder if someone can just purchase a transformer from the builder and replace it?
