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.

Once I started making my own IC's from DH Labs pure silver, shielded I never ever looked back at boutique IC's again.

I am using very old cables from way back in January 2021. Extremely happy with them. I wouldn’t exchange them with anything made in March 2021 😂😂

Mine are so old they're called patch cords and zip cords.

Still using several Empirical Design power cords and ICs in my system after a dozen years. In fact, system move left me needing a power cord recently and could not imagine anything better for the money so called Karl and picked up another ED-316 for my Herron VTPH-2a. Great cables and great service!
