What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ?

I admit that I'm a cable junkie. It started for me back in 1979 when I changed out some Monster Cable zip-type speaker cables for the then new MIT MH-750 Music Hose. Ever since then, I have always been obsessed with cables( interconnects,speaker cables, and power cords)I keep telling myself that my system is fine, but ultimately I yearn to try out a new power cord to see if I can get that last bit of resolution. Any other cable nuts like me, or do I have a unique problem that a real audiophile doesn't have.

Polk audio cobra cables - way back when . Clearly better than anything else that I could find at that time. I just don't remember why I sold them. Arrrgh .

What is this the geezer wire thread? Polk Cobra Cables and Audio Precision interconnects......Fulton Gold speaker wires.....This was all about 1975 or thereabouts........Recall my first $100 cartridge, an ADC as I recall as nothing cost more than $50 back then other than those Deccas, Ortophons and Supexes...........Yep, I'm a geezer too and my ARC SP3A-1 still is in the garage!

Whew, I started this thread thinking I might not get too many responses.I feel a lot better knowing that my "cable-mania" is alive and well in other audiophiles. No wonder there are cable companies coming out of the woodwork so fast that it's difficult to keep up with them. I should mention that in my thread, it was a combination of the MIT Music Hose along with the MIT 330 interconnects connected to modified Musical Concepts Hafler amp and preamp into Vandersteen 2B speakers that opened my ears.
