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.

I use Shunyata Copperhead and Diamondback power cords that were 15 years old when I bought them used here.  I have no idea how old they actually are.  As far as I am concerned, they are good enough and will not be changed.  

It shouldn’t matter how old the cables are.  There are not many breakthroughs in cables.  Most of the time it is a small company buying off the reel wire with expensive connectors and a fancy sleeve for the wire.  How many companies actually make the wire the manufacturers are shilling for?   The longer the wire is used, the more broken in it will be.  Win, win situation.
