> 3 dayVery solid, heavy. The wires are extremely sealed with the banana connector. Fits really well too. Recommended.

> 3 dayGreat quality and sound from the GPNW. There are better but you have to spend way more to get it. If your speakers are under the 2K price point Blue Jeans is all you really need.

> 3 dayGreat step up from basic speaker cable. Love the locking plugs, and love that they are welded. I bought one long 40 foot cable, and cut it in half. I use the locking plugs at the speaker terminals, and bare wire at the amp. These are rated so you can safely pull them through walls. Simple, basic, high quality cables.

> 3 dayHere more of the music and at a price point that is very reasonable. I upgraded my surround systems speakers with this purchase for my TV and my high-end analog stereo system is next. I have a set of Nordost speaker cables on my analog stereo system that I purchased used from a buddy that originally retailed for $880+ for an 8 foot run and I cannot hear a difference when I swapped the Blue Jeans cables in for a listening test. All the good press is well deserved - I would purchase them again - which is my highest accolade I can offer !!!

> 3 dayIf you want a high-quality speaker cable without any of the mumbo-jumbo of some cable manufacturers, this is your cable. It uses quality Belden cable with great locking banana plugs that are welded on. Those banana plugs and the way they are connected to the cable set this cable apart from the other cables at this price point. (I once worked for a company owned by Belden and I can say that they know cable!)

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. |
