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.

Like you I have a Furman now containing only FM tuner and tape deck. Believe I will move streamer and DAC from AudioQuest conditioner back over to Furman and see whether I get similar results. Thanks for the tip! 

Didn't pay much attention to power cords until I tried the AQ Storm Series.  That was a game changer for me.  

My first power cable purchase was a Shunyata Venom HC.  I didn’t hear much of a difference until I improved my system to be much more revealing.  Now I clearly hear the difference between the following cables I demoed; Shunyata, Audioquest and Cardas power cables.  

It was the Shunyata Delta NR. Frankly, I was shocked over how a cable could make that much of a difference. But I did not like all of the changes (enhanced mids but at the cost of toning down the highs, i.e. less bright), but changing the fuse to a Rhodium fuse and then again to a Synergistic Purple fuse addressed that!
