A certain online retailer asked me for a review of Pangea power cords..

Here is my response                                                                                    
"Way back when the Pangea AC9 was introduced, I bought one. My first aftermarket powercord. I didn't think a powercord could make any difference! Put it on my Forte' 4 amp, and immediately noticed better bass response. I was hooked.Since then I have upgraded everything in my system, but I stick to Pangea power cords.Just last night, listening via Rudistor RPX-33mkII headamp and Sennheiser HD800 (bought from Audio Advisor) I was, beside listening to Deep Purple "Machine Head" checking out some new outlets. And the difference was easy to hear, via the Pangea AC14SE MKII Signature powercord. The Pangea powercrds ARE GREAT, no question. Thanks Pangea dude, for creating them, and thank you Audio Advisor, for offering them to the public. I now listen to my Magnepan 20.7s, Marantz SA-10, Conrad Johnson ACT2, Kuzma Stabi Stogi S turntable. ALL using Pangea powercords.My system is no slouch, neither are Pangea powercords.
If I were to offer one suggestion, Start a line of AC14SE, and AC9SEPangea with pure copper Rhodium plated plugs.and Cryo'ed.
Thanks in advance Pangea Dude! You are a HERO.to all of us who enjoy Pangea power cords."So.. any comments?

May I recommend a high end cable manufacturer who despises the exorbitant pricing of high end cables. He has two lines of cabling, the Empress and the Pharoah, the former which sells for more than Pangea, in the $200-$400 range and Pharoah at triple that. The lower end cable uses the similar technology (design) and manual labor to assemble, differing in a few added design and component changes. Just read up on the Empress and be impressed at GroverHuffman.com. Someone at Agon asked for a sample cable to try for free. No, the manufacturer is not giving free samples at a cost of 1 to 2 hour assembly time. However, they come with a 30 (or 60) day money back guarantee for auditioning.   The same technology is used in each line for A/C, phono and speaker cables.

Pangea cabling that I’ve heard sometimes rivals expensive cables and beats some bad cabling (High Fidelity) at a reasonable price. It is no match for the patented, extensively shielded cabling by GroverHuffman.com

My GroverHuffman cables use an elaborate matrix of  to eliminate EMI/RFI.  They have a copper mesh sleeve over the wiring floating in an air dielectric which encased in teflon tube with vinyl over that.  The copper sleeve is dipped into an adhesive which contains powered carbon, nickel and tungsten.  There maybe an additional sleeve over that (I don't remember the differences between the Empress and Pharoah cabling exactly).  

Since the Empress cabling is $200 to $400, EMI/RFI are eliminated at a reasonable cost.
