Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy?


Although I have changed my system substantially in recent years, I still retain both speaker cables and interconnects that I have owned for ~15 years. I use Audience Au24E speaker cables and RCA interconnects, and a Virtual Dynamic David XLR between my DAC and integrated amp.

The system sounds very good, and I am not inclined to make any changes to the cables. Having said that, though, if anyone has used similar cables and found big steps forward without breaking the bank, I'd be interested to read about your experiences.

More broadly, I would enjoy hearing about cables that other members have stuck with for years.

Moderation? that's crazy talk @rocray  😁

All my cables are from here or USAM. Had some really cool interconnects and speaker cable built by a guy using older stock, cloth insulated. Love them! Not sure if that is considered used, or new using old material... Right now have a pair of bi-wire Nordost cable that I'm really enjoying. (used of course)

Anyway, I was just thinking about some old solid core speaker cable I had 25 years ago, Mission/Cyrus made it. Really great stuff. Weird thing was since it wasn't shielded it posed a problem. My next door neighbor was a CB/HAM radio buff. Had a broadcast amp that must have reached China. Picked up his signal enough to blow fuses in my little Cyrus one amp. Weird but true.
