Core Power Technologies

Does anyone know, is Core Power Technologies still around? I was considering purchasing (2) Ec1200’s but don’t want to be in a holding pattern for the next year. Are they or (Mark) still in existence? What’s the lowdown or suggestion of comparable item.

Welcome to the forums Dan!

Very happy Modwright Oppo 205 and CPT 1800 owner here.
You should speak to both Lak and Ozzy as they both Beta tested the Deep Core and reported their findings which differed greatly from another Beta tester and acquaintance of Mark.

From what I read in both Ozzy's and Lak's experience and posts, there seemed to be no observable improvement in sound quality using Deep Core in their systems.

Although I am quite happy with the performance of my 1800, although there seems to be quite a few posters here who have paid for both undelivered Equicores and Deep Cores.

To all of you who've never had any experience with Dan.
My experience as an owner of his Oppo 205 Mod was and is a 10+.
He as well as his staff are responsive and very easy to reach and speak with.

IMO CPT could not be going to better hands.

Dan the original Deep Core design was supposed to be a front end 1st in line solution plugged directly into the wall, where up to an EQ 1800 could plug into. Many of those who ordered it made their orders with this in mind. After Deep Core V2 blew up Droleg's system and blew out fuses in Ozzy and Lak's, it was found that DC would handle nowhere near an EQ 1800. Please let us know what it's power handling capabilities will be.

@lak posted this below on the other thread.

@chazzzy007;  Correction chazzzy007 the version II Deep Core blew fuses in ozzy and Lak's system and damaged drloeg's (was either Dac or preamp) and had to go back for repair. BTW the Deep Core at the time the damage occurred in all three was being used to power one or two components it was NOT overloaded and trying to power an entire system (although we tried that also) as others would have you believe. Funny how I was told that there was a team of Marks personal testers that had extensively tested the version I and II Deep Core and it was supposed to be safe to use on an entire system powering a 1200 or 1800!

Dan have you tried plugging your amps directly to an EQ1800?
I have a 5 channel BAT VK-6200 and the results are superb.
The EQ-1800 handles it easily.
No reduction is soundstage or dynamics on movies or music.

Dan running that same test with an EQ 1800/1200 as a stand-alone unit, what are the results? With the Deep Core fronting an EQ 1800/1200 what are the results at the EQ receptacle???

Hey Dan.
I'm am posting comments from another thread from 2 of the beta testers.


lak3,151 posts06-17-2018 4:41amI spoke to Doug and so did other beta testers, during the testing period that was read about in the deleated forum, and yes he was the designer or the Deep Core to the best of my knowledge. I have a feeling that what Doug designed and his original intention for the unit was carried to an extream by Mark. If I'm incorrect I want droleg to please correct me.
 Report thisdroleg110 posts06-17-2018 3:25pmYou are correct, Lak. Having also spoken to Doug several times, and having him pick up one of the fried deep cores at my place,(he lives within half an hour), he did not initially intend the DC to handle what Mark promised. Mark also jumped the gun on some of the early versions by sending them out to us betas before Doug had a chance to test and aprove the units.

Ozzy and Lak will you be getting a Deep Core unit to post your impressions???

To both Ozzy and Lak I cannot tell you how much I appreciate both your contributions in these forums. Especially in light of the disastrous V2 release, at this point it would at least make business sense to get DC's in your hands since you were involved from day 1.

I'd personally need to hear a review from someone I trust, someone with EQ's already in their systems who'd be able to listen for and write up any noticeable improvements with DC V3.
