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.......

@dorkwad I looked at your system posted on Audiogon, very nice!
I'm not totally familiar with all the equipment you listed, are you using some type of power conditioning for your system?
The reason I ask is because, in my opinion, your Dude preamp has improved because of the balanced power produced by the CPT-150.
You might want to consider purchasing a CPT Equi=Core 1200 or 1800 (which is a balanced power supply) and running your choice of standard power cords that you already have to the rest of your equipment. The positive results may surprise you.

Thanks lak,

I have a friend who owns a CPT-1200 and is going to bring it over to listen soon.  He's been telling me the same thing for awhile.  If that makes as big a difference as the CPT-150 did on the DUDE, I may be convinced.

I haven't had much success with power conditioners as I've had about 5 in my systems over the years.  I really didn't like 4 of them as they took the life out of the music, but the Audio Magic Stealth XXX at least sounded as good as having no conditioning.  I sold it as the power strips I use had the same warranty on stuff plugged into them, so why use a conditioner.  Apparently, the power in my area is pretty good.  I have three dedicated 20 amp circuits that run to my room.  

On the other hand, the CPT-150 made the sound so good, I was really surprised at the result.  I also use Maestro outlets in the wall and the CPT-300 on all my front end equipment.

doekwad, originally is my second system (easier to get to the equipment to make changes) I ran the amp from a dedicated wall outlet and the CPT-300 from a separate dedicated AC wall outlet to a high-quality power strip that fed my Preamp, Transport, Dac, and FM tuner. I was happy with that setup. Please post the results when you try the 1200.
