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.

My demonstrations for the following cables were performed in a local dealers showrooms. Since then I have owned and auditioned many different power cables.

My first experience was with Shunyata Research’s Black Momba power cable demonstrated on a Naim Audio Classic series seperates system. The Momba was powering the amplifier driving Thiel speakers.

My second experience was the Nordost Vahalla powering an Ayre Acoustic Ax-5 integrated amplifier driving Aerial 7T’ speakers.

In my system aftermarket power cables along with Synergistic Research Purple fuses considerably enhances the performance. ymmv

I'm using the Audio Envy high performance gold plated receptical.  In my system,  It has bested the Pangea, PS Audio Power Port and even the Furutech GTX-D gold. 

All the best

Correct, they are not listed on the website. I’d encourage you to contact Captain directly for more technical details on the receptical. He recently received a large shipment of the them. The outlet is heavy and very well engineered with all contact points gold plated. 

 

## The outlet I'm using is the one from his reference OKTA Pro power distribution system not the Quad Power.
