Reminds me of the Supra LoRad 2.5 power cord that I once ignored as being an unimpressive design for audio use, but now use on a Monarchy Audio DIP 24/96 digital interface processor. The Swedish audio cable manufacturer includes measurement and laboratory equipment as another application other than audio for the LoRad (Low Radiation of electric and magnetic alternating fields) power cord design.

Pangea have a very low radiation well below shielded Belden.. Just mentioning my favorite nt.. - Elizabeth 19:13:03 02/11/13 (3)

- what was interesting - unclestu 22:37:31 02/12/13 (2)
  was the Daletech powercords had NO shielding. The three conductors had an equivalent sized polyethylene tube placed between each lead and in the center.
  
  It is a relatively simple construction and should be very easy to implement. I do not know why others, particularly in the audiophile community, do not emulate it. I do not believe it is even patented.
  
  IMHE, I find shielded cords to sound a bit muted and dynamically restricted, although you sometimes have to trade off the noise factors.
  That was one reason why I found the Daletech cords to be a God send (unfortunately they were available only in up to 16 gauge).
  
  I actually contacted Belden and a few others but the 5000+ feet minimum was a bit much

  - My AC cords need to be bundled, so the Pangea with shielding is perfect - Elizabeth 10:53:56 02/13/13 (1)
    With one conditioner ten feet away from my stereo rack (past the video stuff) all the powercords from it are long, and bundled up together. So i am glad they are well shielded from each other. All the cords from that power conditioner to my stereo rack are 3 meters to 4 meters long..
    And the one off the other way to the amp is also 4 meters.
    ((I like really long powercords, at least with the Pangea ones..))
    This arrangement was the only way to have the amp and stereo stuff off one conditioner. (((Furman REF20i)))

      what the DALETECH power cords were addressing: The cross contamination by AC leakage in bundled cords, including not only AC cords but signal cords. The fact that they could accomplish this without shielding was intriguing for me.
      
      The other factor was they published their leakage measurements, something I have never seen anywhere else.
