My conclusions about better PC on my conditioners...

Posted by 3+4=5 on July 5, 2017 at 10:12:09:
I own a Furman REF20i conditioner which is used for most of my audio stuff.
Also a PS Audio P-600 which I use (at 111Hz output) for some digital gear.

I had both with Pangea AC9 powercords.
I bought a Pangea AC9SE and wanted to break it in fast. So I stuck it as the AC cord to the Furman.
(PS the Furman REF20i came with a 20 amp IEC, but I replaced that IEC with a heavy duty 15 amp Furutech IEC, so I could use aftermarket PC)

I was immediately surprised the sound was better (With the Pangea AC9SE vs the AC9) from my setup.
The same change made no difference with the AC9SE on the PS Audio conditioner. (With the gear on it)

I have settled with various Pangea powercords all over as they seem 'good enough'.

As for the op, and my own limitations.. I would say the 'experiment' says just as much about the listeners HEARING and equipment limitations.. as it does about what matters in power cords.
So I happily present my own experiences, and read others experiences. But say it clearly does NOT cross to 'this is what everyone else will experience"

So others stories are interesting anecdotes, but have no guru/biblical like meaning.
