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.......

Glad I checked in on this thread as I now know that Mark is swamped with moving and that's why he hasn't been able to respond. I'm excited about joining the CPT family and will order either the equicore 1200 or 1800 as soon as the dust settles for Mark. I've been putting off doing so as I wasn't sure one would really improve my sound, but after hearing a system with it....and then without it, I'm kicking myself for not ordering one long ago.

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

Thanks madavid0, I just ordered one. It will be interesting hearing how it works out. If I remember correctly the chassis does look like the CPT's.

I don’t really have great hopes for it but it’s worth a try. Anyone know what the 500 watt CPT weighs? Might give a clue as to weather this Chinese unit has a chance of being any good. They do have a 2000 watt unit for a bit over $400. I’ll have to check its weight......not that weight alone will determine if they are any good. Edit, it weighs 44 lbs. 

Equi=techs Son of Q is a product I’m seriously looking at ordering.

Nice summary celander. Same ole song and dance. At this point if there's a real buyer why wouldn't he wait the supposed 48 hours to actually announce the new sale rather than yet another promise of an impending sale? And to suggest he waited for the best sale arrangement rather than admit the first two buyers wisely chose not to finalize the purchase is pure delusion. He didn't back out of the previous purchases nor does he give a damn about those that he ripped off. It amazes me that his actions haven't violated his parole from his previous conviction.

"He" said that in the next 48 hours a press release from the new buyer would be posted here. Well, that was 4:16 pm on Wednesday. It’s 5:01 pm Friday and nothing. Is everyone else here shocked also? 🤑

On on a better note I ordered the Equitech Son of Q and will have it next Tuesday. Now that’s service.

Thanks celander and lak,

I'm looking forward to hearing what the Equitech brings to my system. They've been around for a long time and pretty much introduced balanced power conditioning to the market so they're a reliable and we'll run company. I'm SO glad I didn't go ahead with ordering a CPT 1800 this summer........and I feel badly for those that did and were ripped off. With yesterday's big announcement not materializing ( go figure) I doubt anyone will ever see a refund.......but if they're lucky they might recieve a credit towards a new Ground Zero 😂

Exogal definitely makes it clear they aren't buying CPT the company and are distancing themselves from them......smart. 

For those owed product I'd recommend getting a refund from CPT and purchasing an Equicore from Exogal. You'll be assured a new product, not a refurbished one returned from a reviewer, and your warranty will be covered by Exogal instead of CPT. 

This is assuming products owed or refunds will be forthcoming.

Thanks for sharing madavid0, mine shipped last week. I hope it's good enough for my tv system as the Equicore Son of Q will not be leaving my main rig. I love it! Balanced power does wonders. 

It's good to see Marks mess will hopefully get cleaned up by Exogal. I only say hopefully as all the i's aren't dotted and t's crossed yet. 

Maybe I'll get a Deepcore yet......once Exogal has totally completed the acquisition of it. Keep us posted Hugh!

Sorry Hugh, your post was right under Jeff's from Exogal. It's Jeff that I want to keep us posted on Deepcore! 

Sure Mark will say he's going to take care of all the customers he owes money. He's good at making such promises, not so much at keeping them. Not sure if Exogal has any mechanisms in place to ensure that those promises are made.....but the deal isn't finalized yet so maybe they will. 

My chinese balanced transformer arrives today, I'll try it out on the plasma and let everyone knows how it works out. For those looking for a great balanced power conditioner until Exogal can transfer every thing over to them, check out Equitech. They were the pioneers of balanced power. Their Son of Q has transformed my system.

The Chinese balanced power supply came in and is a very solidly built and nice looking unit. Plugged my plasma into it and the picture quality improved nicely. Out of curiosity I tried it in my audio rig with my transport, DAC and pre amp and was pleasantly surprised by how good it sounded. It's not up to par with my Equitech Son of Q by any means but for those on a tight budget that want to clean up their power you can't go wrong for less than $200 shipped.

Mike Powell is very easy and fun to work with. I ordered the Jays Audio cdt2 from him last week. He is very knowledgeable and willing to help out others to make their audio experience better. And yes, his videos are quite entertaining and informational. 

Thanks for the Equitech pic twoleftears. It saved me from opening mine up to see what it would take to replace the duplexes. Looks like it's daisy chained also. Not much room to work with in there!
