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.......

@t_ramey No tracking number. I hope my comment wasn't premature! Mark asked for varification of my shipping address and phone number. He said the Deep Core was ready to ship and would be headed my way. Maybe my mistake but I assumed othres received a simular email and would be shipping within a few days. |
Welcome aboard dvdboulet, feel free to ask any questions you might have. The Deep Core is a new product that none of the regular viewers in this forum have had the opportunity to listen to yet, because it has not been released, although we have been told on several occasions that it would ship. We have been waiting for quite a while now for it to be shipped, some of us more patiently than others which is why you might pick up on some friction within this forum. |
@dvdboulet, Although the Equi=Core 50, 150 and 300 are good stand-alone power cords I don't recommend using them with the 1200 or 1800. On the 1200 or 1800, I would recommend the power cord of your choice that's made for a power conditioner or large watt product. At the end of this review: http://www.audiophilia.com/reviews/2017/6/4/core-power-technologies-equicore-1800-power-conditioner there is mention of a red and black power cord that came with the reviewers 1800 unit. I don't know if that power cord still comes with the 1800, however, I do have two of them that came with a Deep Core that I was supposed to beta test but UPS delivered the unit damaged. I can attest that in my opinion they are good power cords and compete with power cords costing $1000. Mark does sell those power cords at a very reasonable price, however, I can't locate that information at the present time but it would not surprise me if someone else can post a link for you. If you or anyone else reading this is interested in a spacific power cord to use for the 1200 or 1800 or from the balanced power unit to your compoients fell free to send me a PM and be sure to let me know a price range. I've tesred many power cords. |
@pcrhkr; you might get a faster answer to your question if you post it here: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/equi-core-1800-core-power-technologies-1800 |
@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. |
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. |
Audiogon removed the thread themselves because it continued to get off the OP's topic. The thread could be activated again when things cool down. From what I heard we are waiting for a major announcement about a buyout. As I've always said on these three threads...patience is a virtue... Lets see if it all works out and everyone ends up happy :-) |
@con1150, no I did not lose any funds to Mark. At this point in time, those that have lost funds should be contacting Mark and if you don't get any satisfaction take legal recourse. I'm not sure what good it does any longer to continue to discuss the issue on these forums, unless there is some new information to share. |
@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! |
@chazzzy007, no problem at all, there was a lot written in those threads that are no longer online. I like many others feel like I was lied to or at least not told the absolute truth. Stories were made up to make it sound like Mark and his company was a high power empire. I remember a comment made by Mark that his team was back from the High-End Munich Show and now that they are back they will be concentrating time on the new improved Deep Core and the new heatsinks that were ordered. Assembly should take place shortly. As far as I know, the company was a small Mom and Pop set up with at times some help from a few friends. If I’m wrong about the comments I’ve made I apologize, but I highly doubt that I’m wrong. My philosophy is, honor the promises you made to people...Mark! |
I 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. |
The Super Stroke is an inexpensive power cord, very neutral, natural sounding and does a nice job, especially for the price. @grannyring stick with our Furutech SO22N power cord or the Black Mamba V2 power cord. I'd recommend the Super Stroke for someone on a budget or just beginning in audio and wants to upgrade thier standard power cords and not break the bank. |
Mark, it doesn't do anything positive when you reach out to the community with a post and once again list your email address and phone number and then ignore people that attempt to contact you. I wish you all the best but I understand why people that sent you funds for a product that they did not receive are very frustrated. |
@audpulse I don't necessarily disagree with you at all. I can't begin to tell you how many members of Audiogon messaged me to say Mark repeatedly told them the refund check was in the mail yet they never received a thing from Mark.

I'm still waiting to read the post from Mark that says the deal went through and those that are owned refunds have received them. Of course, we will read posts here from those that have received their refund. I'm still waiting to read those...MARK! All I hear and have read is one excuse after another and that's been going on for years! It's apparent what you are doing! :-( |
My EE looked very closely inside of my Deep Core and 1800. I'll contact him over the weekend for recommendations on a transformer to build a balanced 1200 or 1800 etc. IMO the challenge would be to find an appropriate case to house it all in. I believe Mark had the cases custom built by one of his contractors. |
As I stated in my post in this thread dated 11/16, my EE found the topic a lot more involved than he originally thought. Here are some suggestions which will require additional research on your part. That's probably why it might be easier to purchase a unit that is already completed. https://www.plitron.com https://www.toruspower.com/product-ranges/ https://toroid.com/Home/_vsrefdom/wordstream/gclid/EAIaIQobChMIjMDG9Ofl3gIVSyaGCh1y4gnjEAAYAiAAEgJ42... |
Happy Thanksgiving to all :-) Seeing is believing when I officially read something that is rock solid and hear back from several of you that are waiting for products and/or refunds...then I'll believe it! For several years all we have read is one excuse after another...you know the old fable about the boy that cried Wolfe! Best regards, Lak |
