I have 3 Cullen Crossover power cables in my system. They appear to be reasonably made. The connectors are good quality. I've not dissected a cable to take a look at the neatness of the work, but I have experienced zero issues and I have reason to believe the work is a thing but neat and clean.
How do they sound? Pretty much like nothing at all. And that's just what you want from any cable.
Based on the explanation of what the materials used are, plus seeing the terminations, techflex jacket, etc., the prices are reasonable as far as cables go. I am stating this from experience as I've made quite a few interconnects and a handful of power cords, and I have something of a handle on the costs of the raw materials. So no, it's not being sold at cost- the guy's got to eat too! But you aren't spending $1000 for a belden cable whose identity is hidden by a techflex jacket and a set of Wattgate terminations, and where the total cost of the raw materials to the average consumer is tops, $50.
I am very pleased with the Cullen Crossover, and I think they are superior to the Pangea, but the two lines occupy different price points. And as far as the Pangea 9, yes, they are thick and unwieldy.
Why do I prefer Cullen to Pangea? I think the presentation with the Cullen is cleaner top to bottoms. But it's not night and day, and in some applications I can see the Pangea outperforming the Cullen
