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

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.

1976, maybe 1st "hi-end looking" sp cables.
Geezer

My favorite cables, at least for tonight, are AZ digital and XLO.

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.

I want to take back my Fulton response. My first cable "gasp" was when I replaced the 'take it, it's free' cable from the dealer with some 14 ga lamp cord. "Huh? It makes a difference?" I thought at the time - 1973/4 and just outta high school. Bought the cable to better disappear on the floor.

Used this knowledge later to replace the speaker cables on a friend's stereo with a receiver and some Bose 201s or 301s (don't remember - little sideways bookshelf speakers with a pointable plastic vane in front of the tweeter), but only had enough 14 gauge to finish one side. He had to run the volume control at almost 3 o'clock to make the volume the same and the tweaked side still had better bass and less piercing highs. He was dumbfounded!
