I think the newest cables in my den system are at least 15 years old. I finally threw out a pair of 1m Fulton Gold speaker cables that were languishing in my garage; probably around 40 years old. Always a pain in the ass to use, as they were so stiff, and the plastic covering did nothing but deteriorate into a sticky mess over the years. Still have a bunch of Fulton Brown (same vintage) sitting in my misc cable bin.
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.
