New Pangea Audio AC-14 XL Power Cord

I gave the AC-14 XL a try for 30 days. My impression is it's not a significant upgrade over the AC-14SE; which is the great bang for your buck cable.

I agree with Lowrider57. The one reason to buy the XL vs. the SE is if you have gear that has the IEC power inlet that always leaves your power cables semi-loose or even dangling. The XL has a deathgrip both on the wall socket and at the IEC connector. Otherwise, the SE is still the best bang for the buck.

Quite frankly, I just use some Teflon tape around the end of the IEC to make a snug fit regardless of what power cord I use. At the wall it depends on the AC receptacle. I use Furutech but Oyaide grab the plug very well.

For anybody interested, the Pangea AC 14SE has been discontinued. It's replacement is the AC 14SE MKII Signature which sells for $49.99/1 meter. Didn't the SE sell for about $120 for one meter?

I need another power cord and couldn't order the 14SE Signature, so I emailed AA and they directed me to the new cable. Most of my PCs are Audience, but at this price I'll be buying a few more Pangea.
