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.......

I understand all Equi-core products have balanced transformer but are they also isolation transformer ? Do they completely isolate from the mains ? It would be very interesting if they did.

I am thinking of getting an Equi-Core to try it out in my system. Given all the mess, is it safe to get one from CPT at this time ? They say that they have it in stock and could ship immediately.

Leaving apart the rebranding of a chinese power cord as super stroke from CPT, is this power cord any good ? Did anybody compare it to other quality PCs ?

@klh007 out of all the famous audiophile brands (and there are many of them) in the market, why would one try to copy an unknown brand ? I am just failing to understand this. After these posts, I searched ebay and its filled with power cords which looks similar. Again, I don’t see any problem with re-branding a chinese brand and there is nothing wrong with it. I was a victim of PS Audio AC-12 power cords (2m costs $1200) last year and those chords were originally bought from an authorized PSA dealer and yet they were counterfeits. Similar copycat exists for other famous brands, like Shunyata, etc but it doesn’t makes sense and neither its worth to copy an unknown brand.

all power cords were replaced directly from PS Audio after they inspected and found it to be fake, free of charge.

I have been looked at keces sometime back and even had few email exchanges with them. keces is a balanced isolation transformer just like BPT was. If Equi-core is of similar tech, then keces should be a great replacement since both BPT and CPT have shut down now.

The Keces does look nice but you might also want to check out the Lab 12 Gordian. I'll be ordering one soon.

Don't think Lab12 is a balanced power like the Keces or Equi-core or BPT. It looks more inline with an Audioquest Niagra series.
