Do Pangea PC's really outperform standard PC's

The question is how much do you have to spend to outperform the included PC cords supplied with most components.

I ask because I just bought a Pangea AC14SEII PC for $50.00 Supposedly this model services only auxiliary components, like CD player's; DAC's; phono boxes or pre-amp etc. BTW,They also introduced a AC-9MKSEII power amp cord for sale price of 150.00 for I meter.

Six years ago, I purchased an Acoustic Zen Tsumani Plus PC which I use with my integrated amp. In all truth, I am not sure if this cable really mades a difference in the sound in terms of a quieter or blacker background. Do you have to spend $600-1000 for a PC that truly lowers the noise floor. I paid about $200 for the used/mint AZ Tsumani Plus PC

It seems to me that the OP is moot. Anything outperforms the stock cable that comes with components.

"Anything outperforms the stock cable that comes with components."

That's a pretty broad statement. Also has no relevance to the ops question about Pangea specifically.

I hear a major difference with mine and consider the value proposition to be fairly high accordingly.

I know for sure that Nissmo will humiliate Challenger RT or even Vette Z06 with ease, but in terms of aftermarket powercords, i don't see the factor of competition there vs. any.

The Audience Powerchord is your best bet. It certainly is very quiet and music really do come out of a black background. Moreover it has excellent bass response. You will need to pay about $350 on Audiogon. It is, in my opinion, the best option at $350. It is not perfect but it is by far the best option at its price.
