These cables look really nice on my system and are shielded to block interference. I'm a believer that claimed audio enhancements from power cables is just fiction so I was not expecting them to make a difference in audio quality or at least any that I can hear. Review: More of everything! Great upgrade and even better VFM. - So I have dilly-dallied with woo-woo wires over the decades....MIT Shotgun, TARA Rectangular Solid Core, Kimber KS interconnects, kilobuck custom built hand polished silver interconnects, and sometimes they did make a great improvement (the first time I borrowed the MIT 750 Shotgun speaker cable I was floored by what a massive difference a 'hookup wire' could make). But many times they were no better than much cheaper alternatives. I even tried out a full loom of some Russian military wires that probably retailed for $30k, and much preferred the free interconnects that came with a $59 DVD player! I admit I only tried a few power cables with any pretensions-starting with the Tiffany AC60 back in the 1980s. But then I ended up with a full-blown Naim system and used their supplied cables including power cables. Apart from the their amazing tuner and a 2-box CD player, my Naim gear is long gone. Now I am using some large tube monoblocks and a DAC fed by a Squeezebox touch that is in turn powered by a massive linear supply. But for some reason the 18ga and 16ga Naim power cables remained. I happened upon the reviews of the Pangea series of power cables. And with the very liberal desertcart return policy, I took the plunge and got one AC14 SE and another AC14XL. And today I tried them out. I ended up with the 14SE on the DAC and the 14XL on the SBT linear supply (the ends of the 14XL are just too massive to fit through the circular cut outs of the entertainment center). And from the very first note something very different was happening. Think about the time you went from a mid level moving magnet cartridge to a special moving coil one, or from an integrated amp to a high end pre/power combo. These are the level of improvements I am hearing. Tonally the first thing that leaps out-literally- is the shuddering bass extension, that is matched by its tightness. Voices and instruments are grounded in space and quite separate from each other. Clarity and crispness of the top end is significantly improved. Its like having a really cruddy stylus and giving it a good clean-it not only looked wooly, but it sounded it too. My speakers by the was are some custom built ones that went for about $25k a decade ago and are still very difficult to beat. I am sure there will be some who say this is all imaginary or placebic. I am totally convinced it is not. How convinced? I just ordered another 2 XL cords for the power amps. I may at some point swap the 14SE for another XL for good measure, although that will require taking a 2 inch hole punch to the backboard of the entertainment center. BUT.....that will also allow me to try the 7-ga AC9 power cords along the way too! Once my two other power cables come I will also swap out the 5-year old octet of 6550 tubes in my amps, and hopefully hear the full benefits of these cables. One caveat though...the IEC end of the XL is really, really chunky and may not easily fully seat into the receptacle without duress-which is what happened to me when I first installed it-and was rewarded with some gut wrenching burping sounds that thundered out of my speakers. It was probably arcing or something. It needs a really firm push, after which it becomes almost hermetically sealed. ## Features - Ultimate AC power cable for source components with No-compromise Cardas Grade One Copper center conductor - Better transient response, lower noise floor - Designed specifically for wide-band delivery of power to line-level AV components like preamps, CD players, DVD players, DACs, and other line-level components - Screw-in/screw-out solid copper ground pin - Solid blade 24k gold-plated copper contacts for superior electrical contact - Silver-plated copper braided shield - Conductor Gauge: 14-gauge - Cable Outer Diameter: 12mm - Cable Outer Diameter: 12mm, Male End: Nema Type 5-15, Female End: IEC C13 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003LLHVQG | | Best Sellers Rank | #38,122 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #697 in Audio & Video Power Cables | | Brand | Pangea Audio | | Color | black | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Female | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 293 Reviews | | Gauge | 14.0 | | Item Length | 23.62 Inches | | Item Weight | 0.82 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Pangea Audio | | Model Number | PGAC14S2 | | Number Of Conductors | 3 | | Plug Format | Type B | | Plug Type | Type B | | UL Listed | No | | UPC | 854463002381 815414013993 815414013986 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Wattage | 65 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Pangea Audio - **Connector Gender:** Male-to-Female - **Voltage:** 120 Volts - **Plug Format:** Type B - **Item Weight:** 13.12 ounces ## Images ![Pangea Audio AC-14SE MKII Audiophile Signature Power Cable Cord Upgrade for Audio, Video and Electronic Gear 0.6 Meter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gE6tVahfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: If I use the AC-14SE MKII for a headphone tube amp that draws 200 watts max, will my sound quality be significantly compromised compared to AC-9?** A: Thanks for your inquiry. The AC-9 is a seven-gauge cable designed for use with power-hungry components such as power amplifiers and large subwoofers. Switching from the AC-9 to an AC-14SE MKII on a tube amp which uses less than 200 watts should not have a negative impact on sound quality. Please let us know if you have any other questions! **Q: Will this fit in a marantz 5005 int amp** A: If the Marantz has a standard IEC connection on the back for AC power, I cannot think of why it wouldn't work. Good power cord. **Q: I have a svs pb2000 subwoofer that uses a two prong power cable. would it be safe to use this pangea 3 prong cable?** A: I am using the Pangea 14SE cables with my SVS SB-13 which is also comes with a 2 prong cable and I have no issues. **Q: I have a Creative Labs sound card on my desktop computer would this power cord upgrade improve the electrical response?** A: As someone who used to own a Sound Blaster ZxR, please do yourself a favor and get a good entry level DAC instead of wasting money on power cables for your PC. I bought the Musical Fidelity V90 Dac as an upgrade and it was quite an upgrade indeed. You'll never go back to internal PC sounds cards after hearing a real dac through quality speakers. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality and Value for the Money. *by D***V on November 24, 2025* Good Value for the money if you are replacing stock power cords.

They got rid of buzzing interference in my Yamaha HS5 powered speakers I am using in my RV and improved the overall sound quality in the process. I had tried to get rid of the buzzing with a pair of Ground Defenders made by ifi but they did nothing... a waste of $200 so I tried these cables and I'm so happy they worked. I used to have buzzing from my mouse on these same speakers when I had them connected to my PC at home, i wished I had tried these cables back then. Highly recommend good power cables like these on any powered monitors. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pangea Audio AC-14SE MKII Audiophile Signature Power Cable Cord Upgrade for Audio, Video and Electronic Gear 0.6 Meter - iFi LAN iSilencer – Ethernet Signal Noise Filter for Hi-Res Audio Systems – Removes Electrical Noise with Galvanic Isolation – Plug-and-Play RJ45 Isolator - Pangea Audio AC-14 Audiophile Power Cable AC Cord Upgrade for Audio, Video and Electronic Gear 3 Prong (1.5 Meter) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/7359000-pangea-audio-ac-14se-mkii-audiophile-signature-power-cable-cord](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/7359000-pangea-audio-ac-14se-mkii-audiophile-signature-power-cable-cord) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
