Pangea power cords

I've been having the AC14 about 2 weeks now. It came with a clear zip lock bag with a piece of print out exactly like one those Cardas. Its looks, feel, and sized are similiar to one of the (entry level) AudioQuest. The prongs are very well made, well machined, smooth with full of "gold" coating; they snug in nicely every plugs. Because it needs break-in, and I was in testing something else more valueable in my system, I did not seriously pay much attention to it. Yet, I still gave it a quick "walk-thru" (1 or 2 days) in my system from Denon DVD-5910, Jeff Rowland Capri Pre, to Jeff Rowland D-class amp model 102. So how does it sound? Of course, it won't sound like Nordost Vahalla or any of Cardas. I'd say it may sound (very) close to 1 of the entry level PS Audio and AudioQuest. Smooth and neutral, easy to the ears. Other may say flat, and that's right, it doesn't have the punchiness (dynamic) like Custom Power Cord Company, model 11 or the high end sound of PS Audio AC-5. With their intro price,I regret not adding the AC9 to my collection. THus,it is absolutely worth more than $39+S&H.
$8.75 to ship 1 cord, or $10.27 to combine 2 cords. Anything above $200 is free shipping. Expect the delay of 1 week to 10 days back order from Audio Advisor. Hope that helps.

Hi Nasaman,
What power cord did you find worked best on your Denon 5910 dvd player?
I have a Denon 3930ci cd-dvd player and I am trying to get a good match.

BuyFast1,
Because each diff cords get slightly diff results, I switch/play/mix/match with them around. Cords and cables don't stay at 1 place in my system...

An audio friend gave me an enthusiastic recommendation about the Pangea power cords and had me over to hear an A/B comparison with the excellent cord both he and I have been using. This cord was made using 12 AWG cryogenically treated CryoMax III cable combined with high-end Furutech connectors. It had emerged as a clear winner in comparisons we've made to mid-priced cords by Mapleshade, Shunyata, PS Audio, Absolute and several other companies. Switching cables on the CD player, there was no doubt we preferred the Pangea. Same thing when switching the cord on a preamp.

I was so impressed I went home and ordered 5 of them, two of the big AC-9s for my monoblock amps, and the smaller AC-14s for everything else. The cumulative effect they produce in my system is pronounced: they change the whole ambiance, creating a bigger, warmer sound with stronger bass, without reducing transparency. Since my overall system produces a highly transparent and detailed sound, the Pangeas helped take it to that sweet spot where richness and transparency are in balance.

At the risk of sounding like a dealer, my inclination is to want to spread the word that these cords are a price/performance breakthrough. But a word of caution. How these cords work may well be system dependent. If your system has an overall warm sound and you're seeking more dynamism and brilliance, the Pangeas may not be for you. But what the heck, they're cheap (for now) and there's a money back guarantee.

Love these cords. Changed over my whole system- integrated amp, CD, tuner, phono pre, turntable. Spent less on these 5 cords then what I sold one Cardas power cord for. And I absolutely feel I have given up nothing except the pretense. My search over the last year was to go lower cost & higher quality. Did away with an some CJ Premier gear (not cirrent, but 'last generation'), a Meridian 508.24 (as wonderful as it is, I find a current Rega CD spinner more enjoyable), various cabling including the aforementioned Cardas cord, cashed out many, many thousands and have in fact gotten a BETTER system. The Pangea cords were a key piece to this puzzle
