Interconnects - I am still using my Blue Jeans cables I bought 15 years ago, they are the ones I use the most often since I have so many of them. I also have a pair of Peterson Silver and two pair of Peterson Black cables - the original ones from the early 1980's - I use occasionally but at the moment they are not in any of the systems. I think Peterson was the original wire guy who started the entire audio cable industry. Before him, folks
just
used whatever wire was came the box and wasn't broken! I also have some unique cables that resulted from some cable engineering work
I did for a two cable companies, some of them are in the big system. I also have two pair of very long, 50 feet, Monster Cable Interconnects that I use for Subs when I need a long run. I also have a pair of Cardas White Interconnects that are 20 feet long. I think those are the most frustrating pair I own. They are always either 5 feet short of what I need or 10 feet too long. About a year ago, I rearranged the stereo room furniture so I could make up that 5 feet! They are currently in the big system.
Speaker Cables - I have always made my own, optimizing the parameters for the speakers in question. I do have a very old pair I made, back around 1977 I think, that I use for a comparative reference for new designs. It is usually not in any system though.
