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.

Good point about the power distribution/conditioning. Money better spent than on cables, IME. I still play around with cables, I have plenty still to play with. I recently bought some shunyata cables just to try something different  and more modern. Might as well, can’t dance..
After owning several cables and listening to several more through a trial service, I eventually figured out that there is not any cable that makes a lasting improvement to my listening enjoyment. Trying them out is about as much fun as taking the same hearing test over and over except it takes hours or days instead of minutes. My advice, buy good basic copper cables that are reasonably priced regardless of the rest of your system. 
morestereostuff, I agree. I use reasonably priced cables from Silnote, Cullen and Morrow. For me, chasing cable nirvana is a waste of time and money. Just my opinion, I know everything matters.

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.
