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.

Peterson Engineering, put in my system in 1978 by Steve McCormack who would soon be of “Mod Squad” fame.

I couldn’t believe that a new cable could make such a difference, after all I had brand new Belden RCA‘s, fresh from the blister pack.

Today my long run of Purist Dominus RLS is nearly equal value to that 1977 system. I need to get even with McCormack somehow :^)
In my case it wasn't so much a cable as a company. My audiophile friends were experimenting, but I couldn't really hear much difference. The Cable Company recommended Purist Audio cables for my Linn and Krell gear. The difference was huge. I later compared many cables in that system and never bettered the PADs. Later they got me on power cords with some Synergistic Research references.
Mapleshade. I thought the whole subject was sorta silly, tho I had Kimber KCAGs and AQ Diamond and Lapis cables just to be sure I wasn't missing anything. The first Mapleshades I tried were such a revelation (and so relatively inexpensive that I sold the Kimbers and AQs for more than the Mapleshades cost) that I kept looking for "more," which led to Omega Mikros (same designer). Where it will end, God only knows.
