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

I have bought six or seven different power cords, none over $500 and have noticed little or no change in the sound of my system. All the cables are 12 gauge or bigger.  Without talking about cables made with unobtainium, where did you start hear a difference.
 

Thanks.

@ditusa -5000 but you have 4 dedicated circuits for that 40+ year old gear. Funny.

Get all the other ducks in order before spending hundreds on a power cord

My first "audiophile" power cords were Kimber Kords, the early ones with the plastic sheathing.  These were a minimal step up from the stock cords but, of course, my system was FAR less revealing then so it's hard to tell just what they did to the sound.  It wasn't until I tried various Electraglide power cords that I heard an obvious improvement.  The Wolff power cords were another obvious improvement over the Electraglides they replaced.
