One Cord To Rule Them All


I'm seeking advice for a power cord to go from the wall outlet to my PSA P10 power regenerator. It needs to be 1.5M / 5 ft. and have the ability to pass 600 watts for many hours per day. My current PC is a Pangea AC-9, and my budget is about $200 to $300. The candidates I have so far are: Pangea AC-9 SE Mk ll, Audio Envy Ocean 3, or a PS Audio AC10 (used for about $300). Any thoughts? ... Thanks

I highly recommend VH Audio Flavor4 cord for $335 / delivered. I doubt you can do any better than this cord in your price range.

There you go! I forget to mention the 45 days trial. I have invested over $5K in AE cords and yet to return a single cord.
“ I was tempted to get the Audio Envy Mega 3, but this ongoing discussion has me undecided.”

@koestner
You came here to ask for opinions and you got exactly that! If you don’t think your audio system worth experimenting with a $300 power cord on a $5K component then my friend you are in the wrong hobby :-)

What is the worst outcome...you buy that cord and don’t hear any improvements over existing cord. Well, you sell that cord and absorb some loss but you will stop wondering and move on to focus on something else in your system. That piece of mind, knowing you have tried and trusted your own ears is priceless.

BTW, I am using AE Mega 3’s in my system, excellent cord for the money.
“Once someone introduced to me the concept of power cord being an extension of the component’s power supply, the first few feet, not the last, it was much easier for me to explain rationally what I was hearing.”

@thyname,

Exactly! I always believed, power cables are the most important cables in your system, followed by speaker and interconnects. At the end of the day, they all make a difference in a well put together systems.
