thanks for the input...
as much as I appreciate bluejeans cables my own experience with their toslink digital cable was that it decent but not as good as the lifatec toslink (sure its $25 versus $100 but the lifatec just immediately sounded better to me.
I just dont believe wire is just wire.....anyone who has ever heard a nordost cable knows its very transparent and fast but not known for deep rich bass....the purist dominus has incredible rich bass and midrange but is rather warm......both cables both excellent at different things.....to say all wire sounds the same is to ignore what I hear and feel....
perhaps the blue jean measures as good and perhaps it does not....its a good value but if you only want value isnt this the wrong hobby.....most people would say bose is good enuf and beats headphones and even mp3 is good enuf....would you put cheap tires on a porsche? in any event there is a lot of equipment and cables that are good value but even that is relative....
I tried tonite an older cerious extreme graphene interconnect (a good value budget cable) and the music sounded very good nothing got in the way of the music. Nothing missing or annoying to it. However when I swapped in a loaner townshend fractal rca interconnect there was so much more information there.....is it as good as my galileo sx unfortunately no because the sx has the same amazing detail and more body to it...but it cost 5x as much.....so might just stick with the fractal for now
