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.......

Yes as well as ground.  The 8 connector Wago will work.  No need for a terminal block with these. The blocks were another option. One 8 gang Wago for hot, another one for neutral and another one for ground. 

I am also placing a .47uf Audience Auricap XO cap across each individual outlet half for additional filtering.

I am also using DH Labs spades to connect at all the outlet screws. I then Epoxy over the tightened spade screw connection assuring it never wiggle  loose. The small spades used on vintage gear. The BSP model....

Ok thanks. I’m going to order some of the Duelund 12g with polycast jacket to try this and replace the Furutech that’s in there now, Alpha 12 I believe.

Not even thinking about where my components were plugged in at the 1800 in regards to the first receptacle that gets the transformer connected to it I had my amp and dac on the opposite end. I switched them to the first receptacle and have noticed a nice improvement so it makes me want to see what happens when every receptacle has the same juice.

  I am going to have to reset up my system, when I get a new stand next week, I was wondering on the CPT 1200 which receptacle is the first.... that is connected directly to the transformer. When looking  at the rear of the 1200 is it first on the left (as I do not remember it being marked)? I only have two audio components, integrated amp and EVS modded Oppo 205, plugged into to the 1200 so I hope to hear a difference if they are both plugged into the first receptacle.

@tuffy72561  On my 1800 when facing the receptacles it was the right.
