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.

Some of my power cables are getting old, Synergistic Research Master Power Coupling, and interconnects also. Speaker cables are around 10 years old, two sets of Tempo Electric 12 gauge solid silver in Teflon (one for each amp).

I've made many of the interconnects I currently use, and they sound as good as any other cables I've used. I let the guys that can afford to really sweat the small stuff worry about how to best spend large amounts of money on cables. I'm happy, and I hope they are, too.
Since I never seem to see any Acoustic Zen cable comments on this website I figure my Satori speaker cables are so outdated they're laughable.  They're also much too fat to adhere to this year's (or was it last year's?) directive that skinny speaker cables are the way to go. In any event, I suffer greatly from the wretched sound quality they convey.
One reason that I still keep the Colossus cables is that Purist abandoned the combination of silver alloy conductors and fluid, which I thought was a mistake. If I find old Dominus for a reasonable price, unlikely, I will get them. I do use the newest Purist Neptune fluid interconnects, they are better than Colossus in every respect except high frequency extension.
@inna Any experience with Purist Aqueous, or Musaeus Praesto Revision speaker cables?
i dont remember the name of my speakers cable, i only remember that they were better than the other one which i dont recall either...

My interconnect are Morrow 1 and Morrow 3 and they are very good for me...


Cables made a "small" difference.... But the fact that people speak always  about that is explained by only 2 possibilities.... I dont know a third....

Either they have a Top Hi-Fi System and changing cable made an AUDIBLE impact that is big because their mechanical,  electrical and acoustical controls are very good and not only their gear...

Either they have poor embeddings and a not so great system or even a great one, but they never listen to it to his true working potential with vibrations under control, with an electrical grid low noise and a very good acoustic; then they fall for the cables hype upgrading obsession... And  the small audible change is call a great deal for namy hundred dollars....

Guess what is the more probable possibility?
