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

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!

Crump, you and the others help me to not feel I am the oldest audiophile. I too started with the Fulton welding cables of 29" length because the babooms at the Minn. zoo responded to recorded alerts at that length. This is a very slippery slope.

Tbg, my partner, John Curl, will be able to collect social security in a couple months and am jealous as I have another six years to wait and hope there is something left....Started with hifi in the sixties with a Sony compact system and spent my time at a coffee house listening to live folk music....I thought it would be cool to have that kind of definition at home and look at all the trouble it got me into.....Getting close and it has been almost forty years of fiddling with gear and wires.....The ride has been a ball......
