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.......

@underwoodwally Making a decision to not be "back here" to speak to your largest potential audience, especially in light of all the as of now, stolen monies through undelivered /paid for orders, is in my opinion short sighted and a continuing of Schyfter's tradition of keeping people in the dark in order to manipulate them. IMO to announce the purchase of the product lines with Schyfter keeping the rights to his company, all the while keeping the public relatively in the dark here, is simply another way that empowers and enables Mark to keep doing what he's been doing for over a decade. Keep ripping people off. During the entire time that Mark has been stealing people's monies, there's been a parade of old industry insiders vouching for and enabling him at each step of the way. At this point, from my perspective, whether you purchase the company or not, the way that this whole process has been handled tells me you're just another convenient insider stepping in to help himself and Schyfter rehabilitate this whole debacle and take heat off Mark. The only person that could have made this right was Dan Wright and Mark pulled out of that deal to try and keep his company, which he is doing, and close something better for himself. Since the pulling out of the Modwright deal, everything here has been geared toward making a deal good for Mark and the buyer, while forgetting about the hundreds of ripped off buyers. I own a CPT 1800, and will never buy another piece of CPT power equipment unless I can plainly see that every last buyer here with undelivered product has been made 100% whole in an open and completely transparent process on these boards. |
Just spoke with Walter Leidermann, he'll be sending me a Deepcore hopefully in March, I look forward to receiving it and I'm happy Mark and Walter are working to right the wrong. I do feel bad for Mark despite everything. I'm hoping everyone is made whole as well. Walter did mention there really were not that many affected deepcore early adopters that are owed product, so if you are owed something else from Mark and have not heard from Walter already, call or email him please. Good luck all, hopefully in a few months we can just talk about the Deepcore and how it affects our sound. |
I posted my phone number and am also emailing the 17 customers who are owed products to. I have spoken to 6 or 7 already. I am always available and will be working with all these customers to get them products as we get the 1800 and then Deep Core back in production. After 20 years of running this business I will let my reputation speak for itself. I do not do much posting as getting into pissing matches with people who don't know what is really happening is counter productive. Enough said. Call me if you have something you want to talk about and I will deal with anyone individually. |
So you all are now getting promises of a July delivery for a product that still hasn't passed Beta testing... And Mark still has all your monies, the ownership of CPT and the new owner of the Core-power and vapor-ware Deep Core product lines has no legal obligation to deliver to any of you anything. All this after Mark backed out of an agreed to deal to sell CPT to Dan Wright who is one of the most respected and customer service focused Manufacturers in the Industry. |
@jackd Ulterior motive? What was it that I posted that wasn’t true? Mark’s been stealing from people for over 10 years. He tried to take my money on a Deep Core as well but I said no. So far there hasn’t been a Deep Core beta test that could even power an entire system let alone make anything sound better. 2 systems were fried beta testing so far and a poster on these forums had to explain to Mark and his Team the reason for it. Lolz Art several steps along the way Mark’s industry friends have come on to ’vouch’ for him, allowing this whole sad melodrama to continue. This is crazy. 2 other whole threads about complaints and failures have been deleted. What other industry allows criminals to continually prey upon unsuspecting customers, and that for over a Decade?!?! Thus whole episode has been unbelievable. |
I think you forget that Dan by his own admission was also an "Industry Friend" who chose not to help Mark for business reasons. He was not the only one who in the end decided to walk away. Walter on the other hand chose, as the largest dealer of the products, decided to see if he could save a product he believed in and even though he has no obligation to do so seems willing to make some of Mark's broken promises right. So why don't you quit spouting off about something that doesn't affect you and let Walter and the customers work it out. What happens to Mark now doesn't affect that. |

No but you commented about why he would buy from Mark as if that was the reason for his recent negative comments towards Walter. I was pointing out that his vitriol has nothing to do with a purchase where he is owed money or product at all. The only product he ever bought was a 1200 which he received long ago. This is the only thread he visits on this forum at all. There's more to it. |
The deal is officially done and I now own the assets of Core Power Technologies. EQ1800 parts are ordered for the first 100 units that will handle all old paid for units as well as new sales. These should ship in March.The redesign of Deep Core to be a full 1800 watt unit is done and we will build 6 units in late February for final testing and to get 4 out for beta. I will then order the parts to make the first 200. June looks to be definitely doable and I hope sooner on US units. Looking for either June of July on 220/240v Deep Cores. Mark has no ownership of the new company. For those who care to know Dan Wright made the decision to not buy the company for his own reasons. Dan is a quality guy who I have known for many years. Again, I say that anyone (chazzzy007) who wants to call me to discuss this is free to do so and I am more than happy to answer any questions one on one at 770-667-5633. |
Over the weekend I was able to replace the internal wiring for both of my 1800’s with Duelund 12g wire and did a homerun to each receptacle from the transformer. The first 1800 I did is used for my TV, apple tv, blu-ray player, and wifi router/modem. It had the original wiring from CPT with Furutech NCF receptacles. Noticed my tv picture quality was more colorful and detailed and much more natural looking, very pleased. The second 1800 was purchased from Mike at Tweek Geek and it already had the internal wire changed to Furutech but was daisy chained. This one has my main two channel system hooked up to it with my integrated amp, dac, and mac mini and renderer. After changing it to the Duelund and with a homerun to each receptacle (also NCF’s) I noticed a much more balanced sound. I would say the tone was just a bit more relaxed but welcomed and appreciated. All in all I’m glad I decided to do this and it only cost me about $65 in wire from Parts Connexion. Looking forward to seeing how things go once the wire gets settled in but so far very happy. |
I used an 8 port connector for each neutral, hot, and ground. The only way I can think of to avoid the connector is to strip off a long enough section of the jacket of each wire so that you can twist each group together and solder them, then make sure you wrap it good with some electrical tape to avoid contact. |
The best way is to connect an O ring to each home run wire by a combo crimp/solder. Gather each live and stack them on a 1/4 thick bolt tighten the top nut and all the O-rings will be tightly pressed onto each other for a great connection. Use these insulated bolts and bolt each one down to the bottom of your unit. Use one for live, one for neutral and one for ground. Very safe, robust and professional. These connections are there for life! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LLYS5FK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc... You should use good quality O rings. These are decent. I used them and was able to terminate both top and bottom outlet home runs into one O ring since it takes up to 8 gauge. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XQ9BPLF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc... You can also use good quality terminal block with O ring terminations on your home runs to do much the same thing. Problem is these terminal blocks have the screw down terminations pretty close together. Those interested can look at my virtual system to see how I used a terminal block on my BPT Balanced transformer unit. Look at the last picture for a close up outside the chassis. Look at the 3rd to the last pic for the terminal block inside the chassis. My chassis is much tighter in space then your 1200 or 1800 units. I think the individual insulated bolts is the best and most professional option. The layout would be sweet! https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/6997#&gid=1&pid=29 |
@stereo5 @jackd The reason I've posted on this and lots of other threads is because I am part of this community and I care about it. I could have just as easily not said anything because I was lucky enough to not get duped into buying a Deep Core. Others weren't so lucky and I post mu thoughts on their behalf. If one group of us is preyed upon, our community is diminished and we all suffer. I truly hope that everyone is made whole, and that Wally takes care of you all. |
gdnrbob, Thanks for the reply. The CPT 1800 is a balanced transformer that does condition the sound quality by its design. My question is, has anyone tried plugging any other type of power conditioner into the 1800 and then plugging your equipment into that conditioner. Sorta like using the CPT 1800 as a pre conditioner. ozzy |
Is the Deep Core going to be the Conditioner to be paired with the CPT 1200 or 1800? I talked to someone in the industry and my understanding of what he said was that the CPT 1200 or 1800 balance the power coming out of the outlet but don't really condition it. Maybe someone more knowledgeable and technical on the matters can chime in? |

@ grannyring and t_ramey Outstanding Info! I will complete this mod within the next few weeks with the parts listed in grannyring's posts and can't wait to hear the difference. BTW, I added Audience XO Caps to my two outlets like grannyring did on his BPT and the results are noticeable; lower floor noise, deeper/wider sound stage, better separation and more transparency.

@ozzy I'd probably try putting the 1800 first although I think they 5000 is pretty high current delivery. Maybe Paul's new top of the line Conditioner or the top of the line Audioquest might be a better choice than the 5000. Try them all in home first before buying and then open up your own thread. I'd love to hear your thoughts. 🍻 |
