Even though I believe power cords have NO effect upon SQ I bought that same $99 Pangea to use on my Electron Kinectics Eagle 2 amp. It does look nice! Audio jewelry! I leave all the captive AC cords on my electronics alone.
PANGEA AUDIO AC 14SE MKII SIGNATURE POWER CABLE OR WHAT?
I'm looking to dabble a bit more with power cables and am looking at upgrading from my $35 Waudio power cable (Red 3.3 ft 10 AWG) and am leaning towards the $99 Pangea Audio AC 14SE MKII Signature power cable (1.5 meter) for use on my Maverick Audio TubeMagic D2 DAC with WE396A tube and Sparkos Labs op amps.
The Waudio power cable made a nice improvement for my Pathos Classic One MkIII, but I didn't really notice anything different with one on my DAC. My plan is to repurpose the Waudio power cable to my Integra receiver.
What other power cords would be worth considering in a similar price range for a DAC?

@mceljo - take a look at Zavfino cables - their entry level products are very good, but if the budget can stretch a little fiuther, their OCC cables are excelent performers on any component Their interconnect and speaker cables are also excellent value Here's what other members think Regards - Steve |
I'm going through a similar process right now as I need a power cord for a new phono preamp. I've currently got a Shunyata Venom power cord on a Denafrips Pontus II DAC and have previously listened to the following power cords: I might use the Shunyata power cord on the phono preamp if I find something else that works well on my DAC, use the new power cord on the phono preamp, or just buy a second Shunyata power cord. Tripp-Lite Heavy Duty: $15 In the $100-150 price range, I think the Shunyata Venom is good, but your experience might vary depending on the DAC you're using it with. I've not tried an AC-14 SE yet but that's on my list to try next along with the Audioquest power cords in the same price range. |
