> 3 dayGood solidly built cables. I did have an issue with one of mine where some of the frayed wire got stuck in the barrel nut of the locking plug. Luckily it worked itself out.

> 3 dayThought 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.

> 3 dayNice quality. I used to be a fan of bare wire because installing banana jacks always seemed to cause a slight loss of sound quality, but that is not the case with these cables. These cables with banana jacks actually sound better than bare wire. The secret has to be the combination of using really great locking banana jacks and having them sonically welded to the wire which insured that absolutely every strand is making contact. Something that bare wire or lesser banana jack installation is unlikely to accomplish.

> 3 dayThis is a well made, very thick and heavy cable. I had them terminated by Blue Jeans with their locking banana plugs which make a secure connection to my speakers. The weight surprised me because I2g wire was the largest I had ever used before, but that is not a negative thing because bigger is better with speaker wire. Highly recommend.

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 PlugThis 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 WelderThis 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 WeldHere"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" FeatureThe 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. |
