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.

You are exactly who @ditusa  states you are.

@drbb ,

This has been answered a few times by way of the following:

Most if not all who purchase the big dollar gear are going to use an aftermarket cable of their choice, the big dollar gear manufacturers know this, so they provide what is essentially a throw away cable.

Now, why provide a cable at all is another question...

My post above yours...

Not that there's anything wrong with us both answering...

@drbb ,

The problem is most audiophiles have either a preconceived notion as to their choice of cable, or want to compare cables. If one buys  McIntosh gear but doesn't care for the sound of the Audioquest cable and prefers a different cable, he doesn't want to pay the unnecessary cost of the cable.
