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.......

Joined up just to make this post, apocryphal story with a happy ending!Hopefully some comfort for those still waiting...
Short version - started reading this thread, about 1/3 way through decided to order a equi=core 300 from here, in blissful ignorance, and from Mark directly as it turned out.

While waiting I finished the thread...OMG!! I panicked. True to people's experiences as documented on this thread, subsequent comms from MS were infrequent, ambiguous, and the payment method was convoluted to say the least.

I catastrophised and decided I wouldn't see my money again, so contacted Audiogon, and also paypal, who gave me a refund after the requisite actions on my and their parts.

Then the unit arrived, about 9 weeks after ordering. It seems well built and has actually exceeded my expectations, certainly as it burns in.

So, I got my unit for a good price, it has improved my system, and I hope others are starting to get some action from Mark.

I would suggest shaking the tree if you haven't already, using paypal buyer protection and exercising ( even more) patience! He ought to offer to accept payment only after product delivered, but I guess too many peeps might want to give a dose of his own medicine! What goes around, comes around...

Still, redemption is available to everyone, right up until the end...

I know the word you're  thinking of...and many have thought Mr S ought to be.

So Mr OP, bet you had no idea how the thread would go, a fascinating account of the slow motion trainwreck that has been CPT.

But I love my EQ300, no complaints about its effects in my system. I hope they stay available somewhere, somehow. I really enjoyed his Audio Alchemy stuff I owned in the 90s and I see that brand name is still around.
You still liking your cords?

I would add that a few weeks in, on paypal's advice, I cancelled my order and asked for a refund and ceased comms with Mark. I'm still not convinced the paypal account I paid was actually someone else.

But MrD and S5, there are indeed recidivist thieves and tricksters all over.
But their behaviour is as default and natural to them as making good our obligations and trying to be nice is to you and I. They lack conscience and empathy, and feel scorn and smell opportunity around nice people. They genuinely struggle to be any different, to whit if a criminal charge and record doesn't "fill in the blanks" for them, what will? So I try to feel as much compassion for him as I do for the idiot in me that didn't do my proper due dilligence. And for the other victims here.

Gosh, so many assumptions! Of course I refunded the paypal account - which wasn't Mark's btw, well not overtly anyway - it did not occur to me that I needed to add that I'd paid back, so my bad.

I DID wait a few days before refunding though, long enough to burn the unit in, not blow myself up and take a look inside. I felt I had enough moral high ground to do so.
I'll say again, Paypal were very helpful.Has anyone else been made good recently?Peace

@stereo5
yes, I can see how that wasn't clear!
You're welcome, and merry xmas to you too.
As great an addition as the EQ300 has been ( and sincere apologies for rubbing up those who have lost money chasing their CPT products), it PALES compared to the single most astonishing purchase I have just made in my 40 year hifi life  - the Bybee active room neutralizer. I had a nightmare listening room, a relatively small perfect 15' cube, and the Bybee has transformed the listening, JUST like the reviewers say. My prior 'go to' acceessories were the Lessloss cables, which I still love, but I may have to change my username to Bybeelover! I have zero affiliation or agenda, and am trying to stay on topic as the original post raved about a company's product that over time has been soured for a lot of people.

I have some appreciation of the physics of Bybee products - or at least that there IS physics at work, but boy for me the change has been amazing. The room has literally alost vanished! Many threads of course devoted to his products but for this listener Bybee effects trump CPT any day.
