    Great audiophile grade cables for a reasonable cost. Well constructed and the welded Banana plugs are just right. The cover keeps the cables from wear and hide well. Would recommend for any audio application. These 10 gauge cables are used from amp to speakers.

    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.

    Fitted directly from power amp to speaker, offer excellent sound reproduction and sonic quality. Could not ask for more from a speaker cable at the cost.

    The sound was good for a budget cable. The quality was overall great for the price.

    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.

    Love these cables. Well worth the money and made a big difference in sound quality. Can’t go wrong with these cables. Just remember to order two cables. They only come in a package of one.

    Thought it was just snake oil, but I think I hear a difference. Nice to see they lock. 10 gauge is good for longer runs. Helps from clipping. You can’t go wrong.

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.
