blue jeans cable?

Then if we are serious about conductivity, resistance, inductance, we need to measure not only the cables but als the connectors.

I had Blue Jeans Belden speaker cable. It was alright, but I replaced it (just to try it out) with Bryston speaker cable (I have a Bryston amp at this time) and the Bryston handily beat the Blue Jeans. I was pleasantly surprised, and believe me, I'm not a big tweak or mod guy. I have no tweaks or mods in my system at the present time. Now some may say I didn't do a blind test, and this is all subjective. Well, yes it is subjective, but I know what I heard and I'm sticking with the Bryston.

I got some interconnects and noticed no difference from the cheap RCA brand (yes RCA brand with rca connectors)

I am not saying the cable didn't appear to be quality and the connectors look good. But in practice no difference. Then I took them to my electronics guy to measure. The RCA were $6 cables and 3 feet. They are however fairly decent. The Blue Jean are 2' about about $20 each.

They measured no different whatsoever. Nothing ... nada .. no difference. I was disappointed that even capacitance was the same. After my electronics guys finished rolling his eyes he explained you'd have to have some pretty awful cable to measure capacitance difference in a few feet.

it doesn't take much to carry 3 to 6volts. Which is what an unbalanced interconnect is carrying.

People get way to carried away. My electronics guy assured me that I could spend thousands from oure silver etc and it would still be the same. Unless the cable is just plain awful its going to take the tiny weeny voltage a CD player etc throws out. Considering the signal travels at the speed of light .... really? your highs are going to rolloff within 2" ... really?

Each to their own but when you look inside the equipment the wires leading p to the connector are pretty tiny. You cannot improve what comes to the jack with a cable.

It's interesting to read some of the remarks. In the late eighties, I bought my first "serious" set of interconnects, Aural Symphonics for $90.00, and the difference between them and the generics I was using was pretty shocking. Since that time , like many others on these forums, I have tried a number of different brands, and for the better or worse, they all sounded distinctly different.
