Core Power Technologies

Does anyone know, is Core Power Technologies still around? I was considering purchasing (2) Ec1200’s but don’t want to be in a holding pattern for the next year. Are they or (Mark) still in existence? What’s the lowdown or suggestion of comparable item.

I have a Mark Levinson 23.5 which is powered into the EC-1800. I compared between direct to the wall and in to the 1800. I don't notice and reduction in dynamics, soundstage, bass response etc. therefore I opt to remain plugged in to the 1800. Everything seems a little quieter and background seems a bit blacker. Just my 2 cents for what they're worth.

From what I have read, the EQUI=CORE products would appear to be good, and I know Mark was working on a 240Vac version for me and others on this voltage. Mark was also supposed to be modifying a Deep Core to do the same. Obviously there is a bit of work to do to make the product work firstly in the local market.

Thanks to Dan for keeping the information flowing. I hope Mark will do the same.

I have my Prima Luna Dialogue Premium HP plugged in my EC 1800. I would say I've had the same experience as luvrockin above when compared to plugged directly into the wall. It is also much quieter than the Shunyata it replaced.

Once the Deep Core design is solid, I see no reason at all why products could not be produced for 120V and 240V.

As I previously stated ALL of my gear goes through the 1800 including the Lyngdorf2170 integrated amp.
One massive improvement I did notice is how well the 1800 cleans up our poor local power which prior to this was subject to random clicks and pops.
I cannot swear to it that the Lyngdorf sounds better through the 1800 but it certainly does not sound worse and now I never have any unwanted odd electrical artifacts from the mains.
