Aftet reading a lot of chatter on audio forums about CPT, I decided to borrow CPT 300 from my dealer (Care Audio) and give it a try. I absolutely loved my Lumin A1's analog presentation and was unsure if my current sound could be bettered by adding a balanced power chord.
I have a dedicated 20Amp circuit with a Furtech-R (with plate and RF cover) running to a Wywire Platinum Power Broker. I connected my CPT 300 to Lumin A1 via the Wywires power broker (Lumin A1 feeding Allnic T1500 300B integrated to Bastani Speakers all connected via Wywires Platinum cables). My speakers are 100db efficient and very revealing.... I usually notice any changes in my system right away.
My first experience before break in was that there was a marked improvement in the midrange and instrument separation, however the treble was highly unsettling due the brightness that was introduced to my system.
After 200+ hrs of break in, "wow" is the word. My systems musicial presentation was absolutely sublime. Sound was significantly better than my initial listening impression and the mid range and highs were absolutely spectacular. I switched back to my original power cord and within 2 minutes switched back to CPT (there is no going back....).
The results of this power chord on my Lumin A1 were nothing short of spectacular. The analog like sound quality bettered some of the DAC's I heard in the 10k+ range. After living with CPT for a week, I ordered a new CPT 300 from my dealer. It's like my Lumin A1 has been connected to a new DAC (it's that big of a difference)
Highly recommended. The folks at CPT have created some thing spectacular. Two thumbs up!
