Cables - When Did it All Start?


OK, here we go...

This is not another "I just installed cable X and the soundstage and microdynamics just shot through the roof..." or "What cables do you guys recommend for..." but a simple question. When did people start noticing that different cables in audio gear apparently sound different? Or another related question, who was the first cable company to offer different "audiophile" cables?

I do not have golden ears and with two children constantly chirping in the foreground/background I can barely hear the music most times anyway, thus I really have no practical experience if cables make a difference.

For me it was AudioTechnica interconnects in 1977. "....whadda mean they'll improve my system?" Yikes!! I wish I had the money I have spent on wire. It would probably pay for half of my new PT Turbo.
