Pangea Audio AC-14SE MkII C7 Looking for the best possible performance from your hi-fi and home theater gear? Upgrade the C7 power cable that came with your component and enjoy the performance benefits. Moving up to a better power cable is one of the best upgrades you can make to your AV system. Pangea Audio's AC-14SE MkII with C7 component plug is the ultimate AC power cable for source components, such as Blu-ray players, streamers, DACs, and other gear that use a C7 power inlet. This fourteen-gauge cable uses an advanced combination of different-size power conductors plus premium Cardas Grade One Copper and high purity OFC copper. The enhanced engineering and materials result in a difference you'll be able to see and hear. Superior flexibility means easier installation, and the lightweight design doesn't impede the effectiveness of isolation devices. The AC-14SE MkII uses solid copper blades for the AC connections, providing superior electrical contact, along with a screw-in/out solid copper ground pin. This helps the cable grip the AC receptacle tighter and makes it easy for customers to cancel any ground hum by removing the ground pin. Special two-shot molded connector bodies protect vital AC connections from oxidation and corrosion for long life.

The 14-awg construction is optimized for line-level current delivery. Cardas Grade One Copper – The Finest Copper Available AC-14SE MkII's large center conductor consists of no-compromise Cardas Grade One Copper, which George Cardas of Cardas Audio developed for his own premium cables. George’s copper is mined in Arizona, then shipped to a New England factory where it is very S-L-O-W-L-Y drawn into conductors in a process that includes reduction annealing between steps to further purify and meld the copper into what George calls "the most amazing audio conductor I have ever experienced. It is quite simply the best copper on the planet." Advanced Noise Rejection Don't let airborne noise get into your AC power signal and muddy your audio and video. The counter-spiraled conductors used in AC-14SE MkII offer superior noise rejection, while the superior shielding provides RF- and EM-interference rejection to help optimize the isolation of sensitive source components. Superior Cable Flexibility Superior flexibility means easier installation. The lightweight design is perfect for use with power conditioners and it doesn't impede the effectiveness of isolation devices. Solid and Secure Electrical Contact The AC-14SE MkII's 24k gold-plated contacts offer solid and secure electrical contact. You can feel the difference when you plug in the Pangea. Special two-shot molded connector bodies protect vital AC connections for maximum current delivery and long life.

Three Separate Conductor Groups Three conductor groups consisting of a combination of solid and stranded Litz conductors. The large-gauge center conductor is made of solid Cardas Grade One Copper. Surrounding this conductor are six cores consisting of one medium-gauge solid OFC copper conductor, which in turn is surrounded by six Litz conductors. The net effect is that every conductor is individually insulated. The braided shield is made of silver-plated copper for lower noise.
