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.

Still using Audience au 24 speaker cables and interconnects, TG Audio (Bob Crump) speaker wire and a silver power cord, Tara Labs The One power cables. JPS Labs Superconductor digital cable, power cords and interconnects, Acoustic Zen silver ref 2's, XLO signature interconnects and power cables.

I've not felt the need to buy more and don't even know why, I guess they do there job and sound good. I'll spray them down with detox it every year or so.

Glad to see I’m not the only one still enjoying their old cables. I still rotate my Audience au24 speaker and interconnects, Bob Crumps TG Audio solid core silver speaker cable and silver power cords. XLO signature interconnects, JPS power cords, Super conductor 3 speaker wire and digital coax. Acoustic zen silver ref 2 amazed they still make that one. I have some old silver wire from USAF made into interconnects from Don Allen who built very nice amps. Even some unmanageable Virtual Dynamics magnet power cord that will pull your gear off the rack, those collect dust.
