I am suspect of some of the Pangea critics. They are not cheap cords, They could sell for much more. Pangea caught themselves in a Catch-22 by offering such quality for not much money. A good number of power cords that some may like were designed by the same person who designed the Pangea. He contracts out and designed for them. The newest Pangea uses Cardas wire and also litz in their construction. Before Cardas, it was OHNO copper and litz. That is not cheap, just inexpensively priced in comparison... But,still more expensive than typical power cords.. Not sure how much opinion here is due to audio snobbery.
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?
