Bryston vs Pangea XLR. These are two completely different cables. Bryston uses the Van Damme XLR cable, which is a stranded silver-plated copper wiring. The Pangea uses pure Cardas copper (which is possibly solid-core) in an oversized PTFE air tube. The Pangea is likely to sound warmer and more natural. Bryston would be brighter/faster, but with a possibility of sounding harsh or sterile, depending on the system, because of the silver-plating. It really depends what you want to accomplish.
