When I decided to dabble in this pool, I started with a few of the Pangeas. I then added a few PS Audio AC-3s, Then a few Cullen Cables and lastly a Shunyata PC.
I would say for anyone unsure, or who just wants a better cord for a reasonable price, the Pangeas from AA with Money Back Guarantee is the 1st good option.
I had a hard time dealing with Maze and Cullen was a pleasure to deal with.
