    I didn’t hear any difference in my system compared to the 12 gauge wires I was using before. I know it makes no difference musically but I wish they were I nicer looking presentation they look like I pulled the wire out of my walls and used it.

    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.

    Excellent cables - likely will get another pair for my other system!

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

    I know most audiophiles will read this and laugh, but I hear an audible improvement with these cables. Just to be clear, I was already running very good quality 10 gauge OFC with banana plugs on my system. I bought this BJC wire because I like their products and I liked the white wire sleeve. I was NOT expecting an improvement in sound quality, but immediately after switching out I heard an audible improvement in both the clarity of the music and a slight boost in the bass - a bit more punchy! I am a believer.

    I’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.

    This cable is not inexpensive, however, compared to some it is a bargain. The truth is your are getting an excellent cable with excellent connectors. Really, buy it once and you are done. You will get a cable that you will probably never need to replace and allow just about the best sound reproduction from your electronics.

    I wanted terminated speaker cables that delivered quality sound. Very happy with the build quality and the locking banana plugs are very secure. The wires are quite heavy duty and as a result are not that flexible. Can’t tuck them into a tight location very easily. Overall though, great cables at a good price.

    This is a really quality cable. I found myself wondering, as many audio hobbyists do, Are cables really worth it? The answer Ive come to is this. Yes, to a point they are. Which is to say, Ive gotten cheap Amazon or Monoprice cables, and fancy OFC Silver plated hex core ... super magical cables. The later are better than the former. Anything you buy from Blue Jeans is better than the former and 90% of the later. Im using this particular pair to connect a Schiit Vidar to a set of KEF LS50s ... couldnt hope for more. Ok hold on, yes I could. The KEF Bannana plugs are pretty long, this cables locking Banana plug connection is pretty long. Combined, about 4 inches. Thats pretty deep, alot of leverage to bend, break or otherwise have the cable damage the connection housing. But the KEFs are extremely high quality so are the cables so Im not to worried. One of the things I appreciated with this cable is that as you unscrew the connection housing you can inspect the solder joint and potentially repair it should the need arise. Having inspected it, I dont anticipate needing to repair it. Very well executed.

    A Lame Attempt at Speaker Wire, POOR

BJC Ten White speaker cable with banana plugsBJC Ten White speaker cable with banana plugs

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.
