> 24 hourThis is a really quality cable. I found myself wondering, as many audio hobbyists do, Are cables really worth it? The answer Ive come to is this. Yes, to a point they are. Which is to say, Ive gotten cheap Amazon or Monoprice cables, and fancy OFC Silver plated hex core ... super magical cables. The later are better than the former. Anything you buy from Blue Jeans is better than the former and 90% of the later. Im using this particular pair to connect a Schiit Vidar to a set of KEF LS50s ... couldnt hope for more. Ok hold on, yes I could. The KEF Bannana plugs are pretty long, this cables locking Banana plug connection is pretty long. Combined, about 4 inches. Thats pretty deep, alot of leverage to bend, break or otherwise have the cable damage the connection housing. But the KEFs are extremely high quality so are the cables so Im not to worried. One of the things I appreciated with this cable is that as you unscrew the connection housing you can inspect the solder joint and potentially repair it should the need arise. Having inspected it, I dont anticipate needing to repair it. Very well executed.

> 24 hourBlue Jeans Cable is the king of value as their cables perform as well as or better than anything else Ive come across in the market. Built like a tank they should last for as long as I have a home stereo. Dont hesitate in giving these a try. You wont be disappointed.

> 24 hourFinally a speaker cable that just does it job! Im are tired of audiophiles telling me that you need to spend thousands on cables. All hype and no substance!! I am currently using these cables to hook up at McIntosh 5300 and JBL 100s. Everything just sounds better compared to my Audioquest cables costing 4x more!! I will be purchasing more BJC products to replace my now inferior AQ cables. Buy and Try for yourself, There is nothing to lose with Amazons return policy.

> 24 hourNice cable, good sound, does the job. Can’t say it made a dramatic improvement in my system, but comparatively for the price I would recommend.

> 24 hourVery nice quality speaker cables. I have used a lot of different speaker cables over the years from fairly “high end” to generic and the Blue Jean speaker cables are fantastic. I really like the locking banana plugs on these to keep them snug and tightly connected. I have Emotiva XPA monoblocks that have the positive and negative speaker terminals about one foot apart from each other. I had to do a slight modification to the speaker cables by pulling up the cable end jacket (more like a pair of pants) and then carefully cut the jacket surrounding the two wires back about seven inches. The “pants” part slipped right back over the main cable jacket and all was good to go. These cables are no nonsense neutral cables so they do not act as tone controls to alter the sound from my speakers. I am aware of the whole psycho acoustical effect experienced by audiophiles who claim that adding a certain cable, power cord or interconnect cable makes their rig sound better. But, the Blue Jean speaker cables did make a difference over the generic 16 gauge speaker wires I was using. Is it because the Blue Jeans are 10 gauge or the cold weld connections? I don’t know but I can say I would highly recommend these to any audiophile who wants a great speaker cable without spending a fortune.

> 24 hourSo do different speaker cables really make a difference? In this case YES! I replaced Rocketfish 16 guage oxygen free copper - 7 foot long cables with these Blue Jeans Cable Ten 8 feet long. At higher volumes the difference on sounds is very noticeable. There is less distortion. The music sounds clearer. The same amplifier and speakers can play louder and sound better. I was worried that these woul be too thick but as you can see in the picture they are not much different than the copper colored 16awg cable. The other feature I really like is the locking banana plugs. I think they make a much better connection to the amp and speakers. I attribute most of the sound improvement to the lower impedance of 10 guage vs 16 guage but the better connection cant hurt. Ive spent much more on speaker cables in the past but its diminishing returns. These are great cables and give excellent sound.
