What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
Shunyata python-now I have 3.

Bought an Audio Research Amp
Had a ARCD400MkII for 17yrs.In 2008, I believe, I was thinking about having it recapped and ARC told me back then that they could not get the big PS caps any more.I ended up selling it and bought a Ref110 and I was really surprised that everything...

Thanks all again for the feedback. I am still chewing on this and more feedback would always be welcome.

Thanks for the info,I did see that modded 110 on agon. I think I would go the extra cash for a 150 though.  Also ARC may not even work on a modded ARC unit should it require servicing.
