What type of cables make the most difference

What type of cables, in your subjective experience, makes the most difference? I’m not focusing on brands, but rather, on type, ie, speaker cables, power cables, analog interconnect, digital interconnect, and anything else I may have omitted. If you don’t think cables beyond a base level of competency makes a difference that’s fine too.

@curiousjim - I like when you said “back in the day”. I completely understand- I bought my first stereo in the mid 70’s

Pretty sure WBC are made in Sri Lanka. When are you going to set up your virtual system?

I have been adding Nordost powder products recently.  I just received a Tyr power cable which replaced a RedDawn. The change wasn’t subtle. The soundstage increased in all directions. Instruments were better defined and more pronounced I installed it yesterday and have been listening all day today. I’m very pleasantly surprised

Seeing how cables of any variety make no objective difference in sound, it doesn't matter which you spend too much money on when replacing them.
