PANGEA AUDIO AC 14SE MKII SIGNATURE POWER CABLE OR WHAT?

Having been down this power cable road for a while now, I have had an evolving opinion as to how much is worthwhile to spend to get the optimal power handling and SQ benefits. So having prefaced my recommendations I would recommend any of the following:

1. The top of the line Pangea power cables, especially for amps. Their top of the line cable comes with one of the largest gauges of conductor that is out there at a reasonable price. Plus it has presumably good quality Cardas copper. 
2. Shunyata Venom

3. No disagreement with Zavfino. 
4. DH Labs PowerPlus. 
I am sure there are others. 

No arguments with any of the previously stated choices:

Just done with about a 2hr. listen. The new "cheap" Maze Audio power cables are the auditioned critique of my listening. I started with Stanley Clarke "I Wanna Play for You". I threw in Steely Dan "Can’t Buy a Thrill" (I have not listened to this for a long time so I cannot make a statement. It did sound good to listen to) Next, I put on Eric Johnson "Venus Isle". I finished with Eagles Hell Freezes Over for "Hotel California".
There were a couple of tunes I listened to in between, but don’t need to go into.
Stanley Clarke is my go to bass review CD. Since the amplifier cables are the only change, I can give observations as to improvements or not. There is a tremendous amount of new definition and punch. Bass is merely more there in presence. There is the background bass and then there is the up front bass when Stanley solos. The background bass is stronger, more defined, and the solo bass parts are amazing. There is all the other instruments/vocals going on and none suffer. They, too, are just more defined and individualized.
Next is "Song for Lynette" by Eric Johnson. Nylon string guitar and piano as the main instruments I critique. Again, there is an air of individuality and space around them. The rest of the music shines, I am just not stating any other observation. No complaints, though.
Eagles. I have the K2-HD mastering. It was Hotel California on the radio I always liked because of the nylon string guitar. I just feel this is the best rendition of this song. It is nothing less than me being in the hall as I listen and I love the guitar work. Great separation and definition. Don Henley vocal is excellent and the kick drum is superb. The rest of the performance is excellent, too.
I have not listened to a lot of cables and can easily say I am sure there would be improvements (with many other cables) from what all of you say about the experiments you are doing. I will give credit to improvements I observe on these low $$ cables I have put into my system. Maybe the more a cable cost does not equate to better bang for the buck is all I am saying at this time.
I probably have a very low $$ system compared to many of you. Some of you have more in your amp cables that I have in my complete system. Doesn’t make me jealous. For the dollar spent I have put together one very good system. Again, I am cheap. Maybe in the future I’ll do a cable upgrade, but for now cheap sounds pretty damn good tonight....just like last night....and the night before. As these power cables break in I feel they will only get better. My amp tubes now have about 300 hours on them. The other ICs/cables about 200. The Pangea 14XL MKII cable about 50 hours. the Maze Audio power cables may have 20 hours tops.
Long story and probably boring. Just wanted to put in 2 bucks instead of 2 cents tonight. Thought I would splurge! Not all shows cost a weeks pay or more to get in the door.

alt4love - +1 on Morrow Audio, I have their mid priced power cable for my NAD integrated and their top of the line (of 2 types last I looked!) speaker cables in a bi-wire configuration.  I got the power cable first and immediately noticed a positive difference, that got better the more I used it.  Then I tried the speaker cables, replacing Analysis’s low priced version, and also heard a noticeable, positive difference.  For the relatively low cost you get sturdy construction and, for me, an improvement in sound.  YMMV, but it’s yours to try for 30 days.

@rickdoesaudio - Just for clarification I was suggesting the entry level base AA cable as a possible option in the price range you want to stay in. I mentioned the Statement simply to reflect my satisfaction with AA power cables. In any event, enjoy the music  your system makes with whatever cables you use as that is what it is all about😀

@facten

Yes I understood your suggestion about Audio Art Cables. I agree completely.

I appreciate your input as well as that from many others and the options offered.

As my 1st power cable change in many years, I thought maybe there were overlooked cables. I could return the Maze Audio if I were not happy with them, also. Simple observations. I feel many cables are so overpriced. As I am on the low end of audio investment (though I believe I have purchased some better accolated vintage gear as in the VTL amps) I am trying to acquire better sound quality on a low $$ budget. I unfortunately find myself a critical listener, but towards the source of the recordings instead of the equipment. I hope other low budget audiophiles can get something from my observations. If the $90 power cable from Maze gave such an improvement, then maybe their higher $$ power cable could be a good investment, too. (I do not have any affiliation with Maze Audio. I see them on ebay and I checked out their site. I even watched some Duffus talk about them on YouTube....turned me off more than helped in a decision) I thought about the Pangea SE9 cables at 3-4 times the price, also. The AA power cable I would have wanted to start with was just too much for me as I needed 2 cables.

I very much agree with you (facten) that IT IS ALL ABOUT THE ENJOYMENT OF THE MUSIC! Right on the nail, my friend.

Simple observation in a simple setup may result in simply better sound.

I will end my observation on that simple note. Thanks for reading.
