| Looking for power cable suggestions I have 2 Pangea AC-9's. They replaced 2 power cords, each with an MSRP over $1K. At 1/10 the price, the Pangea cords are a better match for my system. FWIW.Bryon | |

| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Thing is, when I turn on my system and no music is going through it, I can't hear anything, unless I put my ear right up to the speaker and the AC isn't running and the fan isn't on, etc. And with music on the only thing I hear is any recorded his... |
