Are today's interconnects really better?

I own Audioquest Emerald ICs- which was a good cable in its day (probably 15 years old). Are today's cables that much better than 15 year old cables?

The real improvements are from the smaller companies like Pure Note, Ridge Street, Bogdan, etc. These folks build exceptional products for the money without the astronomical markups seen by the big guys.

Why do you think the vintage gear price are going up? Just my 2 cents
