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'm so glad I found this thread. I'm about to (after a decade without) assemble a dedicated audiophile 2-channel system and really want to start out with the right power filtering. The last time I lived where I could really set up a 2 channel system right was back in the late 90s. In fact, I had an Audio Alchemy DTI jitter-filter/resolution-enhanced and DAC combo. That was scraping pennies to get good sound on a college budget but worth every penny. I even met Mark Schifter when working at Soundex in Willowgrove (in the very late 90s) when he came to demo the flagship Genesis speakers. Good times.

In any case... I'm wondering 2 things:

* should the 1800 and deep core be both used together as a pair, or does one effectively replace the other (or make needing the other moot)?

* If they are best used together, then if someone can only budget for one initially, which should it be?

Thanks!

Buy 1800 first and use it. It is stand alone unit and it will be good for your audio and video equipment. Just Don't know enough about deep core yet to recommend it.

BS? You mean the stuff with delayed shipping?

I’m in no rush so I can handle some extra time.

What I’m interested in is a power conditioner that will let mynew gear sound as it’s meant to sound and without constricting the dynamics of my amp.

I joined the forum today because I wanted to ask a question. Look me up at HTF or bluray.com forums and you’ll see I’ve been around a while (ie, not a product placement poster ;-) ).

What’s "new" is me getting back into 2-channel :)

Or to be more specific, the fact that 3 days ago my partner gave me "permission" to put a stereo system in our upstairs den where the acoustics are great :)

Sigh... so after a decade of trying to get good music sound out of my home theater with frustrating results, I’m finally going to just let my HT system optimize for movies and build a dedicated 2-channel system.

In any case, the 1800 is the first power conditioner in all my googling that seems to be unanimously praised both for line-level gear and amplifiers, and is not out of reach cost-wise. Hence, 2-days of google research and reading reviews finally led me to post here and ask this question.
