Wow. This all went sideways rather quickly. 🤔 I like my Blue Jeans cables and would recommend their products. My personal preference is to spend for quality cables but not exotic cables. I also like Dyson Audio products. He will do custom builds and stands by his products. I just bought a WireWorld interconnect and so far it seems to be of good quality. |
I just wanted to correct a bad link I posted. It's http://www.cabledyne.com/ and not cabledynecables. All the best, Nonoise |
They are decent Entry level cables,not much more . Wireworld , Audioquest are good ,Kimber8tc is a classic . supra makes excellent bang for the buck for under $500 for some very good speaker cables, and interconnects very wellpriced. madisound sells them . I use theirwire internally in my new Speakers . I use very well respected Verastarr Audio cables . abithigher pricedthen average But also better resolution . cables can go into the 5 $$ digit category if you want to spend and have the $$. I meet the logic 1/2way on spending. |
I wouldn’t be too sure. To whit, Aerodynamics: The cropped F-22 delta wings generate greater static drag than the MiG-29’s tapered swept wings, there is a good reason they aren’t used on non-stealth fighters. Another major aerodynamic difference is that the F-22 lacks wing root extensions which generate chine vortex over the wing thus greatly increasing lift and reducing drag. The vortex also augments the rudder’s effect at high alpha flight. Both aircraft have abundantly large rudders, but the MiG-29 has larger envelope of controllable flight and better post-stall recovery, as demonstrated by the Cobra maneuver. The MiG-29’s airfoil generates more lift for less drag at high alpha with better stability, has a higher maximum angle of attack and superior stall recover characteristics. Avionics: It’s (the F-22) designed with great faith in stealth, Lockheed prioritized beyond visual range combat capabilities over dogfight performance, thus omitted a helmet mounted sighting system. Thrust vectoring is one feature which does enhance the F-22’s agility and reduce energy bleed, but it seems to be simply super-imposed on the flat exhaust design meant as a stealth measure. The APG-77 provides +/-120° field of coverage in azimuth and elevation, which is the highest possible value for a flat phased array antenna. The original N-010 Zhuk radar has +/- 90° range in azimuth and +55/-40° in elevation. This gives the F-22 some advantage in limit of radar acquisition parameters, but unlike the HMS equipped MiG, the pilot still has to manually point the aircraft within a much smaller parameter to obtain radar lock. 🤗 cheers, from my MIG-29 |
Parts and power? No problemo. “The MiG-29 has been manufactured in several major variants, including the multirole Mikoyan MiG-29M and the navalised Mikoyan MiG-29K; the most advanced member of the family to date is the Mikoyan MiG-35. Later models frequently feature improved engines, glass cockpits with HOTAS-compatible flight controls, modern radar and IRST sensors, and considerably increased fuel capacity; some aircraft have also been equipped for aerial refuelling. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the militaries of a number of former Soviet republics have continued to operate the MiG-29, the largest of which is the Russian Air Force. The Russian Air Force wanted to upgrade its existing fleet to the modernised MiG-29SMT configuration, but financial difficulties have limited deliveries. The MiG-29 has also been a popular export aircraft; more than 30 nations either operate or have operated the aircraft to date, India being one of the largest export operators of the type. In 2013 the MiG-29 was still in production by Mikoyan, a subsidiary of United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) since 2006.” This just in: “About 1,600 MiG-29s are currently operational worldwide and approximately 600 MiG-29s and variants are in service with the Russian Air Force.” cheers |
They are very nice folks and real professionals or at least real engineers. I am buying two sets of longer RCA to RCA's from them because of price and the fact that the component being used isn't mission critical. That said I bought a digital cable from them a while back and pulled it out of service shortly after. Just dead flat, dull lifeless. Replaced it with a Monarchy DR-1 that I bought used for $95. That cable is a game changer! Dynamic, detail, lush, big etc. yes it's stiff as a coat hanger and thick as a garden house but it's the difference between sound and music. Yes it's just zero's and ones, technically shouldn't make a difference but there is so much we still don't know about, like Dark Matter : ) Anyway for secondary sources I don't see any reason not to go with Blue Jean. |
My first upgrade after 20 years of Monster cable was Blue Jeans , I went with the 10 gauge Belden speaker wire and they where great sounding but like many that enjoy the hobby there's more out there . So when a pair of used ( major manufacture ) cables appeared at a resonable price I tried then and liked them but ! I moved up the product line again and liked what I heard but ! I am going to try making my own speaker cables by using cable made by the same major manufacture . I'll end up with larger gauge than I have ( I beleve that it is the same gauge that was used on their top level cable ) but without the twisting ,colored jacket and the high price . |
Monster cable really hurt the cable industry with some of the nonsense they did and such. Better sounding cables are real, and you don't have to spend a ton. I've purchased 2 Blue Jeans cables, and they make decent entry level stuff. For superior sound quality, what you want is solid core copper strands in your cables, each strand individually insulated. Fine stranded cables lack this and it shows. I used to think cable tech was bunk, until I tried a pair of Audioquest Type 4 speaker cables. The difference was quite notable. All of the sudden, the sound was cleaner, had better detail and a better soundstage was the result. They replaced fine strand Oxygen free copper. I now have solid core based cables at every power and IC cable as well. But Blue Jeans is at least better than the garbage Amazon brand and Monoprice brand cables. |
I'm currently using Audioquest cable, it's 4 solid copper wires. It's strange, 2 wires are thicker than the other two. I've twisted 2 wires together (1 thick & 1 thin) for + & - connection to speaker. The cables are terminated with banana plugs. Over time the banana plugs come loose from speaker & receiver and it's a PITA to move everything to re-connect. I've already used a screw driver to expand the shaft. These cables are about 15 yrs old. I saw that Blue Jeans Cable has Canare 4s11 wire with locking banana connectors. Would the BJ speaker cables be an upgrade or should I buy better quality banana plugs for the AQ cable? If better connectors are the answer who makes quality connectors that won't break the bank. Thanks in advance for any sage advice that is given |
