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.

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.

MAKING MY OWN.

The physics of this hobby are truly educational. Part art and part unknown science.

Enjoy,
