    This 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.

    Blue 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.

    Finally 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.

    Nice 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.

    Sounds good, connect good and are well-made. I like the way the banana plugs lock into place as well.

    Very 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.

    So 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.

BJC Ten White speaker cable with banana plugsBJC Ten White speaker cable with banana plugs

BJC Speaker Cable, made with our Ten White cable stock and Welded Locking Banana Plugs

At Blue Jeans Cable, we were never happy with the conventional methods of attaching speaker cable to banana plugs. Setscrews are fine, but lack pull strength; compression connections are never as strong as they look like they"re going to be; and solder, on large high-mass connectors, is slow going and tends to cause a lot of insulation meltback. Our solution: ultrasonic welding. Our Sonobond Ultrasonic Welder (made in West Chester, PA) welds the copper wire to the brass banana plug body without the excessive heat associated with conventional welding, fusing copper to brass in a tight, strong, low-resistance, reliable connection.

Our Ten White speaker cable stock is a 10 AWG cable with each conductor made up of 65 strands of bare copper for high flexibility.

The Plug

This is our locking banana plug, disassembled. Notice anything? There"s no attachment mechanism for the wire -- no set screws, no clamps, nothing but a channel for the wire to sit in.

The Welder

This is one of our Sonobond Ultrasonic Welders, in our Seattle shop. Unlike heat-based methods of welding, it drives a large amount of ultrasonic vibration into the junction between the wire and the plug, fusing them together.

The Weld

Here"s a plug body after welding. The surface structure of the wire breaks down during welding, allowing dissimilar metals to fuse. The resulting weld has extremely low contact resistance and high pull strength.

The "Locking" Feature

The outer collar of the banana plug is threaded. It should inserted into the binding post with the collar "backed off" from the plug end (top image). When the plug is in the binding post, simply turn the locking collar clockwise (bottom image) and it pushes a central pin forward, expanding the splines for a firm engagement in the post.
