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

@inna Over the years, I’ve read way too many posts by cable naysayers who are also relative newcomers to:

AudiogoN ™ The high-end audio community

After an intense flurry of activity on the discussion boards, they disappear again into cyber-space. It’s my theory that they surreptitiously tried a better cable - and heard better sound. Suddenly, they’re at a loss to understand.

Perhaps, they mosey over to a high-end community for top-fuel dragsters and say that 87 octane is good enough.

They used to have 94 around here that I always bought, significantly better than 93 and I was not driving sports car. Not any longer, so I stopped driving altogether. No good gas, crowded bumpy roads, lots of police. No fun. I had high performance tires, shocks and springs and ignition wires too, by the way. Manual transmission, of course.
Elizabeth does not have deep pockets, what she does have is good hearing and common sense.

I have a ton load of Pangea cords,,,,  Just tried one Audience entry level Forte 3 Power Chord. At least on my Yggdrasil DAC it sounds far superior to anything I heard from Pangea. 

I'm too old and too smart to think that I know everything, nor have I tried everything. I'm open to the fact that while something may not make any technical or marketing sense to me............as stated above, it may still make an audible difference in some applications. I don't question anyone's personal experience. You and I could sit in the same room listening to the same system and hear different things.......Perhaps when I get bored one day I'll get a or some loner PC's and give them a listen............Maybe I'm wrong........I have been before :)

I do believe that IC's can sound different in different systems and that some people use them to tune their gear...............That said, an IC, like a PC, should do NOTHING beyond transfer power or signals from point A to point B.......If it has a "sound", it's either poorly made or intentionally made to behave in a certain way at certain frequencies.

If you do or think that you do, hear a favorable difference using "X" PC or IC, by all means buy it and enjoy. My opinion is just that, my opinion. 

I enjoy these discussions and I usually learn something along the way. Not here to dis anybody or slay someones sacred cow. It's your cow. If you like it, ain't up to me to stick a knife in it.

A good day to all :)

My first non-stock power cord was the High Fidelity Cables Reveal and after 400-hours of burn-in, it has come into song.
I purchased the Pangea AC-14 to replace the 89-cent stock power cord. It sounds better than the stock cord.
In a perfect world, I would have a CT-2 Helix power cord for the Gungnir Multibit and move the Reveal back over to the PS Audio SPROUT100.
Burn-in is necessary to achieve the maximum benefit.
