> 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.

Greater than one weekGreat cable for entering the world of hi-if. I went from using bare connection ‘lamp cord’ for the last 25 years on some old Realistic Minimus/Optimus speakers to these on Elac B6s and and was summarily impressed with the weight of the banana plug connectors and the ‘heft’ of the cable itself. The white insulation is a nice look - the icing on the cake. Do they sound appreciably better? Who knows - my system now connects with ease and it sounds awesome. I can hear things in my old CDs I never heard before. They feel and work like they are built to last forever. What else can I say?

> 3 dayNo outlandish claims here on what these will do for your system. What they will do is give you an amazing connection, look great and last a lifetime. Do some research, they take pride in knowing the ins and out of each cable and will go to the far corners of the internet to back it up.

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. |
