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.

Some of my power cables are getting old, Synergistic Research Master Power Coupling, and interconnects also. Speaker cables are around 10 years old, two sets of Tempo Electric 12 gauge solid silver in Teflon (one for each amp).

I've made many of the interconnects I currently use, and they sound as good as any other cables I've used. I let the guys that can afford to really sweat the small stuff worry about how to best spend large amounts of money on cables. I'm happy, and I hope they are, too.
