Older Power Cables

In my current system, I have three older moderately expensive power cables: 2 from PS Audio purchased about 24 years ago for $600 used and one MIT Zip Cord II purchased new. I was just wondering what will differences will I likely  be able to "hear" by replacing them with some of the newer power cords that is currently being market.

Try to audition an AQ Hurricane. The sweet spot in their line-up.

Think this will depend on your system also. There have been advances in technology for sure, the question is can your system maximize these upgrades. It could be like putting Pirelli T-Zeros on a 1978 F-150.

NOTHING.

There are plenty of beautiful 10awg power cables you can buy on amazon/ebay for less than $50. Will definitely please your eyes and perform like $1000 cables or even better.
