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.

I'm a little bit of a cable junkie, but in that role I'm a big "Value Junkie": I like what cables can do, but I keep my budget in a certain range and see what I can do within that level. I've had more expensive, but I've found most satisfaction price/performance-wise with the following... I use many of these and tend to keep a set or two out of the below as spare:

Analysis Plus: Solo Crystal Oval
Analysis Plus: Power Oval (love the black wattgate model)
Outlaw Audio: PSC 1.2m Copper IC is a STEAL
LAT International: IC200 mkII is a great value hybrid
Kimber Select 1010: Reasonable price, great sound
Nordost Red Dawn: marginally better than blue heaven, at todays prices quite worth a look (though in the past, overpriced compared to BH)

All time LEAST favorite cable: Kimber Silver Streak - Couldn't be softened by a mountain of goose-down!
