    Seem like good quality cables. I had an issue with one of the barrel locks getting a strand of wire stuck in it. Was able to get out and now work fine.

    Cant touch this quality for the price. Companies selling grossly overpriced cables with diminishing returns should be ashamed. If youre looking for an upgrade for a serious hi-fi (I cringe at the term audiophile) these absolutely do the trick for your kit.

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

    Ive bought 3 of these cables for a 3.1 setup, using outlaw 5000 amp going to Martin Logan 35xt L/R speakers and Martin Logan C2 center. The cost of acceptable quality cables would have only been about half the cost of these, but blue jeans welded cables seem well worth that bump in price to me. Competitors at this level of quality cost much more, and I like to feel like Im getting a good value.

    You cant get a better quality for this money. I love the locking banana plugs.

    I purchased a cheaper, good looking 6ft pair of cables from Amazon. After using for a while I decided I needed to space my speakers out more. On a recommendation I purchased these. I was caught off guard by the way they plug in. They after you insert them, you tighten the binding post and it locks the connection. My cheaper cables seemed to work themselves out of the connection from time to time. I really appreciate this feature. I was not expecting the sound to be any different. And I was just looking for a good cable. I am amazed that the detail of my speakers was a lot better immediately. I am not sure I could bring myself to spend more, but at this price point I am very satisfied.

    For the price, you wont find a better speaker wire. I also own Blue Jean RCA cables and they are well made. I replaced all my wires and cables from Monoprice. My MP cables actually came apart after just a few component swaps. I could also hear interference when the MP cables touched a power cable but not with the BJs. I cant tell a difference in sound between my Blue Jeans and Audioquest cables. I also love the locking connectors. Great buy!

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.
