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.

Interconnects; bottom of the line Audioquest , about ten years old. Sound excellent.

speaker wire; Rocketfish 16 guage oxygen free stranded copper, ten years old. Sound excellent.

read once the reason changing wires sometimes improves the sound is because when you change wires it cleans the mating surfaces of the connections and "re-tightens" the connection. The rest is placebo.
Nothing to do with the wire.
