    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.

    These cables deliver high fidelity quality at very low cost. These are a no brainer for anyone wanting nice cables and not wanting to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars.

    I like that they weld the cable to the attached banana plugs. Should improve reliability. Good quality and flexible cable!

    used with yamaha as 801 and rp600m, changed the box store cables bought for 40$ to these and so much difference in bass and over all more clear and noticeable difference. worth the price.

    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.

    Blue Jeans Cable is the king of value as their cables perform as well as or better than anything else Ive come across in the market. Built like a tank they should last for as long as I have a home stereo. Dont hesitate in giving these a try. You wont be disappointed.

    Wow. You just can’t beat these adjustable banana plugs. They lock in place and unlock so easily, you won’t have to fiddle around a bunch to get a good connection. There is NO better value for top high end audio quality cables.

    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.

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.
