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

@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.

When I decided to dabble in this pool, I started with a few of the Pangeas. I then added a few PS Audio AC-3s, Then a few Cullen Cables and lastly a Shunyata PC.

I would say for anyone unsure, or who just wants a better cord for a reasonable price, the Pangeas from AA with Money Back Guarantee is the 1st good option.

I had a hard time dealing with Maze and Cullen was a pleasure to deal with.

Many interesting options on Aliexpress in your price range.
