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.

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.

Ebay - Cableplex interconnects. These were dynamite at $29 per pair. They bested a pair of Kimber Hero's in my system, & it was a landslide from there. I went to the Cableplex Nirvanna at $89 per pair, then to the Zu Oxyfule at $109 to the Zu Varial at $500. This is a crazy obsession!, I meant hobby.

Cheers.
