Flexable Power Cables for PS Audio Stellar PreAmp/Dac S300 amp

@glow_worm,

Why The Doubt? I had 2 pair of the 14 gauge XL cables and 3 pair of the AC9SE 7 gauge cable for my GE Triton Reference speakers and for the Shunyata Hydra4 conditioner they were plugged into. The speakers each have a 1800 watt class D amp for the woofers. These replaced a full loom of Shunyata cables. After suffering for 3 months, I put the Shunyata cords back in and all the magic returned. The Pangea cords were not a good match for my McIntosh equipment. I gave every one away with equipment I was selling that I had accumulated.

@lowrider57,

I broke in all the cables for 3 months and they sounded exactly like you said, thick and murky. It was like the bass was goosed all the way up and treble was withdrawn a bit.   I bet Audio Advisor sells a ton of them.  

Stereo5, eh, I don’t know. I’m not familiar with the Pangeas but they seem well constructed. it’s just hard to believe a strip of power cord could have a profound (i.e. less than subtle) effect on sound in most systems. I use Shunyata as well, but i hate to see a moderately priced product dismissed when the op is mentioning price as an important consideration. It is possible that power cords are more critical in a high watt config.  
Anyway, If they aren’t good you did the op a favor. Just me trying to apply logic to a hobby when i should know better by now :)

I’d like to address this issue, @glow_worm. Pangea is well constructed and would probably provide service for years. As with all cables, design determines the synergy and performance in a system; conductor configuration, dialectric design and materials, terminations, I’m sure you know all this.
Two affordable superior PC’s that I found are Cullen and Signal cables.

I find power cables to have a significant impact on sonics if a system is at a certain level of performance.

I am looking at the Signal  Cable, Silver Resolution Reference, per the suggestions. Thanks for suggestions all, so far! 

Pangea used to brag about the PVC insulation that they used in their PCs.      Not certain what they’re using now, but- PVC’s Dielectric Constant is twice that of Polypropylene or Teflon.      Almost twice Butyl Rubber’s, but- it’s cheap.      https://passive-components.eu/what-is-dielectric-constant-of-plastic-materials/
