Pangea Audio AC 14 XL MKII Audiophile Power Cable Cord Upgrade for Audio, Video and Electronic Gear (1.5 Meter)

Customer raves were pouring in for Pangea Audio's AC-14XL power cable. These top-of-the-line audio cables for source components sold incredibly well until suddenly the Japanese manufacturer of the high-grade PCOCC copper used in AC-14XL announced they were ceasing production. What to do? With the Japanese copper unavailable, Pangea Audio discovered another form of premium copper that was being produced by industry legend George Cardas, founder of Cardas Audio. The original version of AC-9SE used OFC, Long-Crystal Copper, Litz wire, and PCOCC copper conductors. The new MkII version goes a substantial step further, upgrading to a combination of 99.99 % purity OFC copper, Litz wire, and - most important of all - no-compromise Cardas Grade One Copper, which George Cardas of Cardas Audio developed for his own premium cables.

Months later, a box of sample cables arrived at Pangea Audio headquarters. They quickly plugged them in. Not only did the new cables solidly grip the AC receptacles, but they also very tightly gripped the male IEC end on the components. That was unexpected. Best of all, after only a few hours of break-in, the AC-14XL made the system sound cleaner and clearer than Pangea's best-selling AC-14SE. Background noise was further reduced. The system sounded more relaxed - which made the Pangea people relax, too. As great as the original AC-14XL AC power cable was, the new AC-14XL MkII is even better, thanks to the upgrade to Cardas Grade One Copper conductors.

Give AC-14XL a try. You won't find any cable at anywhere near the price that offers this kind of level of performance.
