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?

Yeah, hospital grade duplex. Last forever. grip well. But not one single person in a hospital cares about how audio components SOUND, connected to those hospital duplex.  
Same as asking what sport car to get, and the guy tries to tell you: "This truck can tow 20,000lbs..." And HE thinks he is giving you great advice.

Trucks and cars has nothing to do with wall outlets and the only thing unique and special about hospital grade wall outlets is their stringent quality, their ability to deliver unrestricted power from the source to a device and the ability to maintain a secure grip and contact with the blades of a plug. Wither a $100K medical device or a $10K amplifier is plugged into it, it’s job is the same; anything beyond that must be magic...Jim

" anything beyond that must be magic.." Anything folks fail to understand 'must be magic'...                          
No problem. If you think aftermarket powercords are magic? Fine by me.

Aside from working for one of the worlds largest manufacturers of all manner of electronic devices, I've built and wired (to code) three homes and a large shop building. I also organized and supervised construction projects on a large campus in CA - having to deal with all of the codes and permits involved. I don't believe I have a problem with the understanding of cables, cords and wall outlets.
Elizabeth -I do appreciate quality and performance but also good value, it seems that the Pangea cords of your original thread, checks all of those boxes.
Happy listening...Jim

No outlet can deliver unrestricted power, it is always restricted to a degree. This is not straight wire from power station.
