Do Pangea PC's really outperform standard PC's


The question is how much do you have to spend to outperform the included PC cords supplied with most components.

I ask because I just bought a Pangea AC14SEII PC for $50.00 Supposedly this model services only auxiliary components, like CD player's; DAC's; phono boxes or pre-amp etc. BTW,They also introduced a AC-9MKSEII power amp cord for sale price of 150.00 for I meter.

Six years ago, I purchased an Acoustic Zen Tsumani Plus PC which I use with my integrated amp. In all truth, I am not sure if this cable really mades a difference in the sound in terms of a quieter or blacker background. Do you have to spend $600-1000 for a PC that truly lowers the noise floor. I paid about $200 for the used/mint AZ Tsumani Plus PC

Yes, Pangea power cords are better, way better, than stock cords. I only have experience with the 14SE but in every application it has provided a substantial audible improvement. It was glaringly obvious when I used it with my 47Labs FM tuner. I's inexpensive and you have a 30 day return privilege.
Some manufacturers include high quality, well matched power cords, and some include cheap throw in cords. Power cords can change the sound, both better, worse and simply different. I use aftermarket cords on all but my preamp. The good part is that power cord prices seem to depreciate fairly quickly, then hold steady a long time, so easy to try.
My point of reference for above comments only includes cords that can be bought for $300 or less, used. I do use a Pangea 14SE on my Sonos, cost was $29.95

I agree
I find most cords make things darker and after six months
we pop in the stock cord and say wow this sounds just fine.
Just had a lady with Quicksilver mono's thank me many times over for telling her to remove her Shunyata Box and plug in direct hence all the life in the system came back.

Oh boy, John Rutan, Shunyata is not gonna be happy with you. Having said this, you are right on the money. Well done for the balls to say it, as a dealer.
