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.

Fulton Brown and Gold speaker cable. Boy, my age isn't showing now, is it? From then it's been ever upward (and a few sideways moves.)

Homegrown Audio Silver Lace interconnects and speaker cable did it for me. Truly refined high end performance of tonal purity, superb detail and treble extension without hardness. Also, good value considering it's pure silver.

A friend who had been in the HiFi business owed me some money, so I took the lamp cord of of my Harmon Kardon receiver and replaced it with Kimber Kable (the brown and black braid). Since then I have used Monster, Cardas, Kimber, Audioquest, and Purist Audio Design ICs. I have also used Audioquest, Monster, Krell, and Purist Audio Design speaker cables.

My PCs are all DIY since they are so much better than the ones I bought.

I think the 'bug' comes from being able to upgrade the sound of the system with a minimal investment. Every other piece in a system costs a lot more to upgrade.

I'm thinking about upgrading again!?!
