What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
The only under $500 power cables that I found a noticeable improvement from are Audio Art Cable power1 Classic, and power1 e Croy. Had tried Signal Cable, PS Audio, and a few others that were no better than the stock equipment cords.

10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp?
