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

"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.
