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.......

I have s question ,I have the core power 1800, I bought the regular power cords 
From Mark and they better cables I have compared over $300, I paid around $100
My question if I put in the power cord with transformer built in then plug into the 1800. Is it a $$ diminishing  return ?  Or full impact like plugging into a power strip 
Anyone that has done this please share your thoughts .Thsnks much.

I need some tutoring regarding: "My question if I put in the power cord with a transformer built in then plug into the 1800". 
What is a power cord with a built-in transformer?
Is there a website with a picture so I can understand this concept?
Thanks...

I have the core power 1800watt block. 
All their smaller power cords have a small isolation transformer built in .
My question was  how much additional benifit,if any if I use their expensive transformer- power cord , plugged into their 1800 watt power transformer station.
Will it be huge ,or minimal sonic improvement ?

@audioman58,
Sorry, I did not initially understand your question, I guess I was not thinking clearly this morning!

I tried my CPT-300 power cord feeding my 1800 and in my opinion, I did not hear any improvement. It did not matter if the CPT-300 fed my 1800 or if the CPT-300 came out of the 1800 going to a component, in my opinion, I did not hear any improvement either way.

I would recommend using any larger (12 gauge or larger) power cord of your choice to feed the 1800. Also from your 1800 to other components use a power cord made for an amp or front-end components.

Feel free to message me if you want my recommendations on power cords.

I do like the CPT-300 from the wall directly to a component and or a power strip.
