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

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.

+1 Cundare2,

I replaced my stock power cords with Pangea AC9 MKII SE with Cardas copper (yeah I know they are above average at best) and heard no improvement. I later had 2 dedicated lines pulled and installed audiophile receptacles (Furutech GTX-D gold and rhodium) and Oyaide R1, and voila!.....now we're getting somewhere. Afterwards I went back to the OEM cables versus the Pangea cables, and now there was a sonic improvement.

My conclusion is that only when I upgraded my power delivered to the cable, was the cable able to produce a difference. As I am now building a dedicated listening room, the first thing I will include is 3 dedicated circuits.

They don’t make difference unless the gauge is too low and they are starving the component from power. Higher price tags and pretty packaging won’t change that.
