Pangea AC14 Review

I tried the Pangea AC14 in my system (Primaluna Dialogue II int. and Sonus Faber Cremaon Aduitors) and I returned the Pangea for the reasons that you state. I bought the Shunyata Venom 3 ($100.00) and am VERY pleased.

Tough to put into words. Much quieter background. If the background could be a color then it should be black. Comparing the amazing deep blacks of a Pioneer KURO plasma TV to the good but not nearly as deep blacks of a LED TV the Shunyata Venom 3 is . . . well, blacker. This makes for a cleaner sound where the subtleties of instruments and sound stage placement are more realized and apparent. The percussion instruments became much more visual. Steely Dan's AJA never sounded so good. BUY SARA K -- Hell or High Water on SACD. Sara's voice and the acoustic guitar . . . you will have eargasms. I met a Shunyata rep at a recent Los Angeles Orange County Audiophile Society meeting. Shunyata is not your average expensive wire and cable company. Call up Shunyata -- they want consumers to become educated on their product. I was skeptical but now I can see. For $100.00 a throw the Venom 3 is a great way to begin to upgrade an audio system.
