Blue Jeans Cable Ten White Speaker Cable, with Welded Terminations (Single Cable - for one Speaker), Assembled in USA (4 Foot, Bananas to Bananas)

I’m not one to review anything I buy but these cables must be reviewed. So simple and yet so sophisticated. From the banana plugs ingenious fitting adjustment to the sheer weight of the cable itself they just “speak” quality. And once I had everything connected and played the first cut “mark knopler’s Sailing to Philadelphia”, I literally started smiling and laughing. Obviously my gear is great but these cables just make the sound even more pristine compared to the previous cables. And I could get this fantastic stuff through Amazon! Upgraded all my other cables to Blue jeans cables that some day. McIntosh MA252, 2000 Sonus Faber Concerto speakers, REL Strata iii sub and Wiim pro plus streamer.

Excellent cables - likely will get another pair for my other system!

Great affordable upgrade to basic speaker cables. They look very clean and scream hifi. Not sure how much of an improvement there is in sound, clarity, dynamics, etc from a measurable standpoint. However, I can say that initially I did not not like the sound. The music sounded too foward, fatigueing, smiwthing was lacking in the bottom end. I immediately contacted the seller to return; however, after about an hour of playing with them. I noticed that the sound seemed to warm rght up. Bottom end returned, mids sounded warm and smooth, amd the highs were crystal. That could have been from break in I suppose, or maybe they just weren't plugged in right the first time, I don't know, but I do know I love them and am very happy with them. I ended up.keeping them. Plan on buying more for my secondary bedroom system.

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.

Why buy this? Why bother when you can DIY? Just why? Okay, let me begin by saying I have made custom DIY cables already. I used 10 gauge wires, the highest count of strands I could find, OFC pure copper. Twisted the cable for EMI, put BFA connector on it and made sure both cables were the same length. Here I am 3 years later. For me this decision was mostly because I didn't like the look of the cable and I made poor choice for the connector type IMHO. Buying a locking banana connector is pricey and these were recommended, so... why not? connectors + best cable + welded... alright I ordered. Differences?? Yes. I am not trying to sell snake oil, just what I personally hear. - When my amp was running but my pream/dac (XLR balanced) was off on energy saving, I could hear a hum in the speaker if I put my ear to them. This is gone (I assume better insulation/EMI rejection from BJC) - The bass feels... punchier...? more defined. For lack of better wording, it's like it was starving before - The mids have more clarity and vibrance My speakers sound a bit snappier, and less muddy; like when turn off a bass tone stack. I highly recommend these cables, I wish I just went them first instead of having the trouble to make some. My only negative point is the connectors, a light negative tho. When you screw it to lock it inside the plug, the connector wants to turn altogether, so it's hard to grip. I had to use a plier to hold the connector ends while screwing the moving part with my grip. Very happy with my purchase, the ten white looks and sound great
