blue jeans cable?

They are simply ok by Aphile standards and will do the job fine if you are not looking for resolving refinement.

I owned and currently own several of their cables for testing gear, back-up etc.... The cables I have tried can sound a tad bright, electronic, and unrefined compared to great cabling. I am talking about the LC-1 cable.

For the money I have not heard better and the build quality is very high. They are not word class or giant killers however.

I can easily hear tremendous differences in refinement and natural presentation between the LC-1 and better sounding, more expensive cable. The owner seems ignorant of this reality, but seems to do a good job on his affordable cable.

I tried BJ cables twice and found them to be a tad bright and unrefined.  I did like their subwoofer cables however.  Two different systems yielded the same results for me. I find the newer bulk Duelund wire makes for a far more refined and musical speaker or IC cable.

Exactly the same as my findings. They sound OK like Monster Cable etc....at best based on my comparisons. However, their subwoofer cable is quite satisfactory indeed.

One does not need to spend big money to do better. Great offerings from Belden and Duelund are examples. I even felt the low priced Canare and Mogami speaker/ICs cables sounded better.

We Aphiles have different opinions on all matters sound and audio and certainly this is yet another example.  I find this interesting.  

Hey @nonoise any chance we can check these new design cables out? Sounds interesting. 

Nonoise, did you get the top tier silver or the more economical set? 

@jayctoy 

Yes indeed. As I said it may well be system, taste, or even location driven. The same cable is loved by some and hated by others. Love this hobby! 

Correct @waltersalas

I was just emailing and learning about a great line of high end cables from an ex-designer at Belden for years. He certainly knows his stuff and realizes better sounding cables can be made, but they will cost more due to the parts quality. Thanks @nonoise for the tip!
