> 3 dayI replaced my 15+ year old Linn speaker cable with these and they are simply fantastic. Build quality is high and the locking banana plugs are effective and appreciated. The sound quality is excellent - open, no coloration and transparent. Highly recommended, they are a fantastic value. My equipment is NAD M10 driving PSB Synchrony One Tower loudspeaker. Music source is Qobuz high resolution files streamed via Roon.

> 3 dayI’m honestly blown away at how noticeable the improvement is in sound quality. I’m using a pair of Martin Logan Motion 40’s with cheap radio shack speaker wire connected to them. I never believed that more expensive cables would really make a difference. A friend recommended I give these a try and a few years later, I finally did. I’m ok with admitting just how wrong so was. The improvement in the bass alone is just jaw dropping. My wife and I looked at each other and just couldn’t believe how much sound we weren’t getting before. WOW! I will be recommending this upgrade to everyone now.

> 3 dayI just replaced some monster speaker cable with these cables and I would highly recommend these cables. I love the permanently installed banana connectors and how the connectors spread out to ensure a solid connection and will not pop out if they get tugged while youre messing with a different device or wire in the same area.

> 3 dayWow. 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.

> 3 dayI 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.
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. |
