Maybe if you stopped ripping and yanking cables, they would last longer. I
have MANY 40 year old audio cables that still work fine. I have 10 year old

When ARE you going to grow up?

 I do tech support for a living, and consequently, I see a lot of other people's tech; computers, peripherals, cables.
 And so many of them are so badly treated.
 I've got cables I've had for literally decades, and they're clean and perfect.
