“Although I am technically proficient enough to understand that wire properly sized for the task can make a difference, I'm one of those audiophiles who doesn't believe that spending $2500 dollars on audio wire will net $2500 worth of sound improvement. I had no problem spending some hard earned money on these cables simply because the build quality concerning the shielding alone made them a good investment. I also like the fact that they can be had in 0.6 m lengths which is a perfect length for interconnects. Did they make my system sound better? Hard to say. What I know for sure is that they add a quality looking finishing touch to my $10K system that just can't be had with Wal Mart cables!”
“Switching to these interconnects from a pair of Monoprice cables that I used for a temporary period was tremendously satisfying in practically every way. The soundstage opened up and the range of sound became so much more satisfying and pleasing to my ears. It has allowed the audio components that I bought to shine in a way that I had never heard before. Listening to music is so much more satisfying an experience with the Pangea cables and movies have a much better balance to them that no longer has me reaching for the remote to adjust the volume. Every Pangea power and audio cable that I've purchased has performed far better than expected and I can't say enough good things about them. The kind of performance enhancements you obtain with Pangea's products feel well beyond the money you invest in them. Highly recommended!”
“I added these ICs to my system in an attempt to balance out my perception of upper level sibilance in female voices, the dreaded smearing of the s sounds that rendered certain words less than distinct. In a word these work exceedingly well, they don't correct bad microphone choices or poor placement of said mics but when the engineering is right these cables allow performances to shine. I use these from my CD player (Linn Ikemi) to preamp (Prima Luna Dialogue Premium) and the level of detail and neutrality that I crave is delivered in spades. These cables are detailed, open and reveal inner detail that was missing from my previous cables (Kimber PBJ fine cable BTW). The Pangea SE RCA to RCA is a very strong performer and an upgrade I can recommend without hesitation for those hoping to extract a better balance of performance from already good systems. The challenging task of allowing the midrange to shine without adding sweetness or its own signature is performed with aplomb and the bass is tight also. The more I listen, the more I enjoy this cable, it is a keeper.”
“I replaced some cheap interconnects with Pangea Premier SE RCA to RCA interconnects and heard a definite improvement in sound quality. My setup includes highly resolving headphones. These headphones allow me to hear even subtle changes in sound as I try different components and cables. The Pangea Premier SE cables tightened up the bass and cleared up the highs. For example, the bass in a high resolution recording of "Morning" by Beck went from sounding bloated to sounding smooth and more inline with the rest of the frequencies. Now I know why Bob Ludwig won a Grammy for mastering Beck's album "Morning Phase." For years I figured zip cord for speakers and cheap interconnects sounded good enough. I am impressed by the improvements with these fairly priced Pangea cables. They are well worth the modest investment. I highly recommend them.”
“Great customer service! I selected this cable for my CD Player and had an absolute great improvement in sound. 100% great quality on this cable and much nicer than higher priced cables I have purchased in the past.
One thing to note is that I was also looking to purchase a pair of these for my Node 2i but the Node has a recessed area for the RCA plugs and the SE is too wide to fit into the recessed area. I went with the Pangea Premier for the Node 2i instead and they worked out great. Extremely happy with both purchases.”
“Relocated turntable and needed longer RCA cables to reach pre-amp from phono pre so needed longer cables to replace the existing Pangea Premier SE Interconnect Cable RCA to RCA that I was using and happy with.”
