Cables of the past - which still rock?


As technology in cables seems to be a slow burner at best I'm wondering which you would consider excellent despite their age? 

Specifically I'll look to pick up some new speaker cables for my ARC + Focal Utopia set up. Wondering if it's worth buying older or should I just go for new!?

It's worth trying duelund 16 or 12ga tinned copper in oiled cotton. They're Western electric wire copies, but supposedly better.  Cheap and really well reviewed... Used by lots of people around these parts (just search) and Jim Smith of "get better sound" fame. People suggest using them without termination, so just buy a length, clean off the oil residue with some alcohol, twist, and connect. I feel no need to change from mine...
