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.

Oh yes, old stuff all throughout. 

Speakers : Straight Wire 'Waveguide' (using FuruTech spade and 30° angled screw tight banana type connectors).

Pre- to Poweramp : OLD versions of XLR Transparent MusicLink Ultra. 

LP to phono boards in Preamp : Vd Hul silver (something or other), 1,2 meters. 

CDP to Preamp : some old odd German brand low Oxygen type, 1' long only, XLR interconnects. 

CDP to DAC : OLD Transparent Reference, 2' long. 

DAC to Preamp : Some German brand, stock standard microphone XLR cables. 

Tried many, many alternatives but always preferred the lot mentioned above. 

I do concede that my system is just not sufficient Hi-End enough to make any noteworthy difference with more expensive / exotic type of interconnects and speaker cables. 😉
