Cables of the past - which still rock?


As technology in cables seems to be a slow burner at best I'm wondering which you would consider excellent despite their age? 

Specifically I'll look to pick up some new speaker cables for my ARC + Focal Utopia set up. Wondering if it's worth buying older or should I just go for new!?

Take a look at the prices and availability of used cables on Audiogon. Why would you buy new?
Verion Tri-Axials. I still have several pairs on hand! From 1977 - when they cost $30 a meter pair.
The original Audience AU24s were very good cables, IMO and are often available at good prices on the used market. Plus they are easy to handle and Audience has great customer service.  Win - win IMO. 
I always buy used cables, after all they do not wear out and they are already broken in.  It’s a win, win!
It's worth trying duelund 16 or 12ga tinned copper in oiled cotton. They're Western electric wire copies, but supposedly better.  Cheap and really well reviewed... Used by lots of people around these parts (just search) and Jim Smith of "get better sound" fame. People suggest using them without termination, so just buy a length, clean off the oil residue with some alcohol, twist, and connect. I feel no need to change from mine...
