The Pangea 14 gauge power cable sucked the life out of my system. Their AC9 cords did not and I use them to power the built in bass amps in my speakers. Most of my source components use either Shunyata Diamondback Platinum cords or Shunyata Copperhead PC. New, they were in the $250-500 price range and used a lot, lot less. I also run 2 dedicated lines to the audio room @ 20 amps each. Both are connected to their own Shunyata Hydra 4 power conditioners. The wall receptacle’s are Shunyata Cryogenic treated. With my high powered SS amp and all tube preamp, I get no his or hum, just dead quiet.
Power Cable Suggestions - Budget
I've read many times about the difference a power cable upgrade can make. I looked at some of the power cables that came with my amp, preamp, CDP, etc. and they do seem very cheap so thinking about buying some cables. I have Bryston pre and amp. Was thinking of maybe the 14 gauge Pangea or similar then I realized I am plugging into a power strip whose cable is likely junk and will need an upgrade here too (maybe 6 outlets). So in summary, I need a couple cables and a power strip that might result in the improvement that some of you claim. Thinking of keeping it in the 3-400 dollar range for all.
