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.

For the DIYers out there...

  1. Furutech bulk cables - better than stock cables, but that’s about it
  2. DH Labs Bulk cable - just as good as furutech, but much more affordable
  3. My own Helix IMAGE DIY AIR geometry cables
    • Helix IMAGE DIY power cable
    • these took my system into a whole new performance level
      • spacious - a true 3D image
      • dynamic
      • detailed
      • low noise floor
      • deep articulate bass

They get a little on the expensive side when you get into the OCC copper, but you can try them using plain old romex house wire first for a more affordable approach just to "prove the theory"

Read what other Audiogon members think about the Helix DIY cables here...

Enjoy the read :-)

@tubeguy76 , what's on there is the latest.

Just read the section on the AIR adaption as well.

Unfortunately the app I use to maintain the site does not track when changes are applied, just created date.

Let me know what you think and if have questions just ask.

I'm here to help - steve
