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

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.
The Affordable Audiophile.

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

Yes despite the exorbitant price..    
Hey... those OTHER GUYS cables are overpriced. These are just a great deal...I always love advice like.."If you only spend XXX times as much, it will be a lot better....."      Well it is true. i spent many times the amount , and sure enough, the sound was a little better. Gee is that supposed to be a surprise?   
Just fork out the Moola for some AQ Dragon powercords.. Three point six grand a pop.(want 2m? six grand) Go BIG.

jhills & shadowcat,
I get it that it makes little sense that audiophile power cables or outlets would make much difference (if any) in regard to sound quality. I didn't believe it either until I dove in & tried it. There is no going back now. It improves clarity top to bottom. It also improves sound stage width, depth, & individual placement of instruments. The nice thing is, it's not expensive. My outlets are $100 each & power cables are mostly oyaide tunami's, with one furutech, & one synergistic research. I've heard more improvement from these than I have from audiophile IC's or speaker cables (which are also important).
