“I replaced Cardas with this 14xl for a Passlabs x150 power amp for two reasons, one the removable ground plug is wonderful so I don't have to use $1 cheater plug on my thousands dollars stereo, the second is the deathgrip that stays in place securely. The sound is no better than the Cardas it replaced, but no worse in my ears, maybe a bit more neutral. Cardas appears to be richer at low end. This works very well with Kimber Kable Silver Streak interconnect and 8tc speaker cables connecting Passlabs X2.5 preamp and B&W 805D speakers. Highly recommend, bought it on sale, great value.”
“Using with the Emotiva A-100 Amp and Wow! power cables do make a difference. Because its a thicker cable I thought I would have to break it in forever etc to notice a difference but my partner, myself and even my son immediately noticed an inky blackness to the background and an improvement in clarity to the sound. Fantastic!”
“Clearly top notch in every way. Amazing construction for the price. Puts other 'High-end' power cables to shame. Hear a clear and unquestioned sonic improvement over another high-end audio cable brand I won't mention.”
“I was very impressed with the solid metal-clad ac connectors. To test it I swapped my wireworld stratus 7 ac cable with this pangea xl on my samsung 4D TV and noticed an improvement in color tone purity and sharper detail.The wireworld stratus 7 is no slouch in these areas and it costs several times the Pangea's price at it's price. The only drawback is its heavier and I had to move things around on the back of my rack to accomodate this - but I'm not saying this to discourage anyone from buying it because it's performance is amazing.”
“Last year I upgraded by system with a new Parasound P5 preamp which - BTW is a really great sounding preamp. There's a lot going on in this preamp - from the built-in DAC to a very good MM/MC phono stage. The power cable in the box with the P5 is heavy and seems to be good quality but I decided to try the Pangea cable upgrade anyway. The 14XL construction is amazing. The connectors at both ends have metal covers. It just oozes quality. I heard a immediate no kidding around improvement. The P5 sounds quieter and the music textures are more vivid. Instruments are more 3D - more present in my room. I could go on but suffice it so say it was a bigger upgrade than I was expecting.”
“This is the first Pangea cable I've tried. After reading all the great onlin reviews I decided to give it a try. The cable made a big improvement in the sound of my Berkeley Alpha DAC. Shocking actually. No pun intended.”
“Before my purchase I was feeling my system wasn'd sounding as good as it could be. Some recordings were not very clear and the bass was a disappointment. After installing the Pangea 'clean, deep, full and amazing depth' is the best way to describe my system now. For the less than $200 I spent I found this was an incredible steal.”
