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.......

Wig, (and Ozzy),

Will the mods you did for the 1200 transfer to the 1800? I would be using mine in a 240Vac/50Hz environment. With the standard US outlets in place, I will need to source some US power cords. I am investigating whether I can source Australian outlets as replacements. Then there is the compliance issue. i have had a 12 month battle with all of this. I have the 1800 but in US format...  not as paid AUS compliant.

@amg56, Yes, the mods performed will work the same way with the 1200 or 1800. Ozzy performed his upgrade on his 1800.

So, I wasn't sure why my ad for the CPT 1800 was not getting offers. I get it that I priced it higher than the original sold for. But, I was offering the unit with 4 Furutech GTX-R NCF outlets! I dunno this surprised me.

So, now I reinstalled the original outlets and lowered the price significantly. Still keeping in tact the other upgrades.

I really do like the CPT 1800 but I found that the Audioquest Niagara 7000 more to my liking. It has 12 outlets and can power my amps with ease. However, it costs 4 times as much as the CPT 1800.

Thanks Ozzy. I think CPT products, irrelevant of quality and function, have been tainted with the company issues over the past 12 months.

I think the 1800 needed more refinement to make it a really good product, as you and wig have proven with your own refinements. With both your permission, I will follow your lead and study each refinement  and see if I can adapt one or the other design improvements for use here.

Cheers guys. AG
