New Pangea Audio AC-14 XL Power Cord

The Pangea power cords look like a nice value for a "premium" power cord.

I have some wear with oover separation near the connection on my current DAC cord and am planning to replace with a Pangea to give that a try.

St I'm with you.

The 14 series I Use with my dac and preamp hit the sweet spot for
performance quality and value. Some day I may try the Pangea. 9 series
which is the model designed for use with power amps.

Jm,

Yes, the 14s I have are well built and bulky. I had to manipulate them somewhat at first to stay attached securely in my small light DAC units, but once I did initially no problems since.

Regarding the sound, the bass was cleaner and more articulate and perhaps a tad lighter accordingly.

I would not judge the change in any single case as a knock on the product. part of it is what did it replace and how the sound changes accordingly. Like any change that affects teh sound, the changes may not all be positive in any particular case alone. Other tweaks might be needed to get things to sound exactly right to the only one who matters, the listener.

So I would not designate the 14s as inherently "boomy" or inherently good or bad in all applications.

In my particular case, I would merely say that the product worked exactly as advertised, which is the best one can hope for. It is also quite substantial in form and comes off as a good value for the asking prices. YMMV.
