I use Pangea cords for all the IECA/AC items in my stereo.
Experimenting with the various models pays off.
I am using a Pangea AC9SE between my conditioner and prreamp. IT is a close contest, but the AC9SE does well.
I still use the AC9 in some positions, and the AC14SE too.
As for the prices.. Yes an expensive power cord is a lot of money, so budget for your system. A $300 cord is not such a big deal on a $5,000 preamp.
If you are using a $800 preamp.. then the cord is not a realistic choice.
