What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?

@curiousjim I can think of only 3 possibilities.  

1.  your amp has a power supply that stores power for dynamics and bass in capacitors, chokes or other passive devices so tthat a large power cord isn't needed.  this is most likely.

2.  you're listening isn't good.  Not likely.  You're a veteran.

3.  your system sucks so bad it doesn't help  also extremely unlikely.

If you have a power problem with your amp, it will be immediately obvious when you install a $30 10awg power cable from ebay.

Now other components, such as DACs and streamers, have such minor power needs that it isn't unusual for a power cord upgrade not to change anything.

Synergistic A/C Master coupler, long long ago....then Tekline, then Cerious Technologies...I also use the lower cost Transparent and Audience in secondary systems...found all worthwhile, and used power cords hold their value extremely well

LessLoss Classic Entropic. 

For me it was Shunyata power cords.  75% of both my systems are wired with Shunyata interconnects.

I can’t find the A/C Master Coupler on SR’s website.  When did it come out and what was the price then?

Thanks!
