Blue Jeans Cable Ten White Speaker Cable, with Welded Terminations (Single Cable - for one Speaker), Assembled in USA (6 Foot, Bananas to Bananas)

Great cables for my Magnepan MMGs!!

If cables do make a difference - and I have every reason to believe that they do - it would seem to make sense that the best cable one could get would do the following 1. Measure well - on criteria that matter, 2. Be priced reasonably, and 3. Sound good in your system. So far, that’s these. To my ears, with my system, at least, they’re highly recommended. I’ve tried others, many less expensive, many more expensive… But to me, these just work. So if, like me, you’d rather enjoy life than compare cables, you can get off the hamster wheel about cables, and just enjoy your music.

Great cable for entering the world of hi-if. I went from using bare connection ‘lamp cord’ for the last 25 years on some old Realistic Minimus/Optimus speakers to these on Elac B6s and and was summarily impressed with the weight of the banana plug connectors and the ‘heft’ of the cable itself. The white insulation is a nice look - the icing on the cake. Do they sound appreciably better? Who knows - my system now connects with ease and it sounds awesome. I can hear things in my old CDs I never heard before. They feel and work like they are built to last forever. What else can I say?

I mean ya these are pretty expensive compared to speaker wire, but you know what? I would bite the bullet every time for the convenience these provide. Red and black so easy to differentiate, check! Locking banana clips, check! Knowing the sound is excellent, check. No complaints.

A lot of home theater guys I know swear by Blue Jeans cables. I decided to purchase one cable to try on my Klipsch RP-504C center channel speaker. Once I installed the speaker cable I immediately noticed a brighter, cleaner and slightly louder sound from these 6ft 10 awg banana plug cables. I went from a 6 ft 12 awg media bridge cable (still a decent cable) to these, and the difference is there. Now, the only thing that may sway people away from these cables is the locking function. Honestly, this was not a problem at all. Please be advised that when you hook these into the terminals on the back of the speaker, the banana plugs fit loosely inside. I would strongly recommend that when you are turning the silver base to tighten the cable up, to snugly push in each terminal as you do this so that you make strong contact. Once this was done, everything else was a breeze and the sound, and quality is there. I would highly recommend these cables to anyone that wants to improve their sound.

These are well made and great sounding speaker cables for the price. They may not compare to cables costing well into three or four figures, but they provide clean, transparent sound. I have two sets, one hooked up to totem hawks and a Hegel 160 integrated amp and the other to Totem Model One monitors and a Moon audio 220i integrated amp in a smaller office. Sound great with both set ups.

I went to install it in an Onkyo A/V Receiver, its an TX-RZ940, a not too recent discontinued model. Great receiver by the way, but the pins dont fit in the speaker terminals. My intended usage was the surround speakers on my entertainment stand, to go from 5.0 a to 7.0 speaker setup. I watched a tube video and the work-around solution for this sort of problem seems to be to pry a plastic spacer out with a paper clip, a drill with a wood nail or a screwdriver, but those didnt seem to work. Since I dont want to break the round plastic terminals and try any further at installing these, it would appear my receiver only likes the the banana plugs with the long clips with the hole on the end. This cable has a solid pin on the end instead. Some speaker manufacturers have a plastic spacer you need to pull off, thats true of one brand I recently purchased but not true of my main set of speakers. The reason why I liked the cable in the first place was the welding process, and my handmade cables out of either 10 or 12 gauge dont have that level of sturdy in the build I did last year. Unfortunately I think the solution is to build my own cables out of surplus wire and keep these for an amp with push pin terminals. If there was a model with the banana pin I need, I would be able to give this cable a 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 star given the much heralded welding and locking mechanism, and feel of the cable as a whole.

Cant touch this quality for the price. Companies selling grossly overpriced cables with diminishing returns should be ashamed. If youre looking for an upgrade for a serious hi-fi (I cringe at the term audiophile) these absolutely do the trick for your kit.

Great cable, Great price for a high quality cable. with out all the snake oil claims irreverent claims made by other name brand cable makes that are overpriced for no reason which will remain names although we and they know who they are. No claims that it prevents frequency skinning effect which of course does not in the audible range of frequencies or that silver plated copper makes a difference because the change in capacitance it offers per foot is so infinitesimally small that it could not make any contribution in any realistic length that could ever be used for home or pro theater use. Blue jean cables are extremely high quality at a great price Beware though when ordering this cable though as amazon seems to have a lot of mislabeled stock and I keep getting the wrong product when I order now. My first two orders came I received the right cable. When I order the 8ft BJC Ten White speaker cable with locking bananas now I keep getting 8ft Canare 4S11 Speaker with Bi-wire configuration termination. Dont get me wrong Canare 4S11 good cable too especially if you have get EM field interference where you are running your speaker cable or you want a cable that tends to produce brighter mids and his. In my case my amps already are brighter towards mids and his i want a cable the offers more flat or even mids and highs and enhances more towards the bass which is why I chose BJC Ten White (Belden 5000UE).

Some people believe in cables and some dont. I think they are both right. Let me introduce you to the concept of psychoacoustics. With the identical audio equipment in the identical listening environment with the same song, the same measuring instrument will always measure exactly the same doesnt matter what time of day or which day you measure it. If you sit on the exact same spot and listen to the same song, the quality of the sound will be different depending on whether you are tired, how much alcohol you have consumed, your mood, etc. That is because we cant measure the sound, we can only interpret sound which is affected by the state of our mind. If you put in some exotic cables and hear a better result, its MOSTLY because your mind WANTS to hear better result and you DO hear better results. Therefore better cables sound better because those who believe that they do will interpret them as better. Those who dont believe it will not want to hear a difference. We will never be able to prove it becuase we can only use intruments to measure objectively and instruments dont have a mind.
