Will your cables live FOREVER?


Do high-quality cables live forever?

Nothing lives forever. Ends will break off, metal will oxidize, plastic will get brittle and discolored. Proper maintenance and repair will get you through your lifetime though. It is probably a moot point though, because no audiophile can go very long without changing everything around every few years.
Forever is a very long time indeed. Nothing lasts remotely as long... That being said, any well-constructed (not necessarily expensive) cable should last much longer than the active components connected to it if the cable is handled properly and not moved around too often.

Twl's "moot point" is right on, but it downplays the almost constant tweaking that the most obsessive-compulsive audio junkies are prone to do.
SURE!

But I won't.

I've found it best to worry about my lifetime not my equipment's.

WHAT, me worry???
