    Customer Reviews

    Substantial quality for only a few more dollars than retail cables. These replaced some AudioQuest Evergreen 1m 3.28 feet RCA to RCA 1m 3'4" interconnects I had purchased a couple years ago. Those stopped working in the right channel, despite the fact that they had only been moved once or twice in three years. I had always heard good things about BJC on various audio forums, but now I am a true believer. I cannot afford "snake oil" cables costing hundreds or thousands of dollars. If you enjoy the best that money can buy then more power to you. Some may even say $35 for an unbalanced 3 foot cable is ridiculous, but I think these are worth every penny. The quality is clear the moment you open the package (more on that in a moment). The plugs are substantial with good pressure and the cable relief is sturdy. I would love to get a look inside these things because you can tell the shielding is pretty serious. It feels like a guitar cable in your hand. Definitely more hefty than the Audioquest by quite a bit. These cables will stick out from your equipment, so if clearance is an issue you may want to look elsewhere.In terms of sound quality they are good, my system is not refined enough to tell the difference but there was definitely not a decrease in fidelity. These are connected between my turntable and Pro-Ject Tube Box S Phono PreAmplifier, Silver preamp. I am not sure if the lower capacitance really matters but I am pleased with the result. In fact, I plan on replacing all of my interconnects with these in the future. Amazon does not carry many of the configurations and lengths I need, but you can custom order these on their website. Time will tell if these will hold up but I have no reason to believe they won't. When comparing this price point to Pangea cables, etc. I would take a hard pass on those. Just my two cents.A WORD OF WARNING: These arrived in a plastic bag within an Amazon Prime bubble wrap pouch. There was practically no protection, no insulation, no filler, nothing. If the option is available, select "Ship in an Amazon Box" or order it along with something else that ships together. I don't think any damage was done but fulfillment should be more careful. I'm sure this is all automated but a human picker would know better. Nothing against Blue Jeans. This is an Amazon issue. 5Just fine. My 2nd set of these. No complaints. I'm not a believer in so-called "audiophile cables" that cost more than your equipment. I've compared these to more expensive cables and honestly, any difference is either negligible or imagined. Think about it. If you actually paid $1500 or more for a set of interconnects, your mind will convince you that they sound better because you wasted your money if they didn't. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who used to work at a really high-end audio store who loaned me a few sets of cables, ranging in cost from $100 to $1200 and after hours of testing, I decided that the $100 cables sounded best to me. Had these been available at that time, I would have saved $60. 5Science speaks for itself I have compared a variety of cables from all kinds of manufacturers and have learned that only 3 things matter in an interconnect. The first is shielding this is used to stop hiss and hum from getting into your equipment. Any length of wire can become an antenna and cause noise issues. This is solved with what is called a faraday cage. This is the same principle for why you are safer in a car when lightning strikes electricity flows around but not through you. Electricity wants to find the quickest path to ground or the path of least resistance. This is done in a cable by putting a copper braid around the signal conductor so the noise is grounded out before it can reach the center conductor. The next is capacitance, capacitance occurs when you put two pieces of metal next to eachother separated by an insulator. Capacitance is the charge built up and released electrostatically, because this is an out of phase signal (speaker push in it push out or vice versa) that cancels out it will cause high frequency roll off meaning your speakers will be less bright or lose details in the high frequency range. The next is inductance, when a charge moves through a wire it generates a magnetic field. An audio signal is constantly changing therefore its intensity the magnetic field can change as well. The longer the wire the more magnetic field around it. when the signal changes the magnetic field tends to hang around for a small bit of time. because the magnetic field is created after the signal goes through it the current it induces back into the wire is out of phase also causing high frequency roll off. Inductance is lower in priority because it mostly effects current rather then voltage. The next is resistance which because RCA audio is a high impedance the resistance is irrelevant because the resistance of going through the equipment is so high it is literally thousands of time larger then in a cable. How are all these combatted? For capacitance you want to space the conductors away from one another but inductance you want them closer, for shielding you want a thick layer of copper braid or aluminum foil surrounding the center conductor. Ideally you want a precise balance of how close or far the conductors are so the only solution is shrinking the conductor. Decreasing the surface area therefore less capacitance and less inductance for more resistance you make the conductor thicker but with high impedance loads you can make it about as thin as you want with the exception of shielding. Because the shielding has less resistance then the center conductor so the faraday effect can take place which is also helped by the high impedance of the format. With all that said this is by far the best cable you can get all science included sturdy build, thick copper shielding, small center conductor, great connectors and of course USA made. With all that said here are some measurements i did with a DER EE DE-5000 LCR meter at 10khz where i found the best results i compared belkin, acoustic research, monster cable, wireworld audioquest and some DIY ones i had from mogami 2534 mic cable and a shortened monster component cable with new connectors.

They have all of the quality and none of the marketing BS of high-end cables. They work great and the best part for me (and why I bought these) is that my vintage tube gear has weird spacing on the RCA inputs which make modern hifi cables impossible. My Audioquest interconnects had plugs that were too big and so didn't fit my Scott 299 or LT110. BJC had me covered. 5Real Audiophile Cables At A Reasonable Price If you've ever wondered whether premium audio interconnect cables are really just snake oil products that cater to the insecurities of hardcore audiophiles, you're right! Most of the expensive cables sold in high-end audio stores market design features that are based on pseudo science. Audio engineers will readily admit this behind closed doors.The BJC LC-1 is an utterly different kind of product that is still designed for the sound-conscious but objective audiophile. While other cable companies repeatedly use the same subjective terms to describe their products' sound qualities (tighter bass, sweeter highers, better focus, more spaciousness or openness, etc.) without any real proof, BJC is an honest product that delivers and proves it.It is a low-capacitance design that comes with a capacitance spec. The lower the number (in this case, 12 picofarads per foot for 36 picofarads), the less the cables will impede high-end extension. If you value extreme high-end extension that comes from high resolution audio formats (SACD/DSD, DVD Audio, high-sampled PCM audio, high-end LP, high-end cassette, or open-reel), to say nothing of the need to coax the high-end carrier signal for your vintage quad LP setup (which requires a total of 100pf of cable capacitance or less), then this cable is a must.The shielding from interference (EMI rejection/hum, etc.), the sturdy grip and insulation completes the package. Unlike most so-called audiophile cables that cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars per meter, the BJC LC-1 is a little over $33 for 3 feet. For the average consumer, this may seem expensive but this product is a bargain for what you get. 5Good sounding cables, all 4 RCA jacks can spin separately from cable... First off, I use these in about a $4000 system, not considered high end by most audiophiles, but I have no complaints about how these cables sound as part of my system. I tried some AudioQuest interconnects in which I wasn't happy with their features (very small connectors, hard to see L-R graphics), so I sent them back. The issue I have with these (which not be an issue at all) is that the RCA jacks rotate on the cables. I'm not talking about the sleeves that go over the jacks, I'm talking about the jacks themselves. I posted a question on this item to see if this was normal, but the answers focused on the sleeve itself, which strangely itself does NOT move. There don't seem to be any dropouts or signal disconnect from this "issue", but I've never had a set of interconnects, no matter how cheap, have the jacks be able to do this that didn't signal a breakage. With that said, I appreciate the size of the jacks (they could be just a touch shorter) ,the clear L-R markings, and the overall quality of the wiring. Some people swear that they can hear noticeable differences between cables; I'm not one of them; I'll leave that to those with higher quality equipment than myself. On the other hand, if you have a feeling that the cheapo $1 no-name cables that you're currently using aren't giving you everything you should be getting out of your system, buy a set of these and take them out of the equation when you're looking for weak areas (and sleep easy). A separate note: you CAN buy different lengths directly from BJC than what's offered here on Amazon, but you'll pay shipping and handling, which will bump the price up to only a few dollars less than buying a standard size cable here, so go to their site to compare. 4Indestructible build and sound quality! There isnt much to say here. these are seriously overbuilt, high quality cables. they're stiff, so if you need a soft floppy cable, look elsewhere, or better yet, use a 90 degree plug adapter! but barring that, i cannot think of anything to complain about. they sound great, they dont pick up any noise/interference from the many things running around them and touching them, and they can probably be used to tow a truck with! nice cables at a decent price! 5Great no nonsense cable No nonsense RCA cable designed specifically for transmitting audio signals. I'm using this as an interconnect between my asus xonar essence stx to my asgard 2 head phone amp. This is my 3 high end cable I have purchased for this application and I'm happy with it so far. Most of the other very expensive "audiophile" cables I had purchased were snake oil. This seems like a no nonsense approach to good audio. They have some great write ups on their website about how the cable is designed and why they made those decisions. I have only owned the cable for mere hours so if something changes I will do my best to remember to update the review.Pros:Very high quality cable terminators.thick soft cablegold platting only where it countsfirm connection not overly tight.Transparent (doesn't seem to color or alter the sound though I have not tested with an oscilloscope)Perhaps an increase in clarity on highs and lows. More pronounced on the lows but my cans are a little bass light anyway.Cons:A little stiff but isn't an issue for my applicationsConnectors are about twice as long as standard rca terminators again not an issue for my applicationCaveat: This review was written after only 4 hours of listening time. Hopefully I'll update later. 5The only good low budget interconnects I have found I don't want to necessarily badmouth other products/companies here, but I'll just say I've been testing out many different analog interconnects on my Chord Hugo 2 + Mjolnir Audio KGSSHV Carbon + Stax SR-009 system. This system is a microscope of detail, it's only not capable of revealing sound staging and imaging capabilities of the equipment to its fullest since it is a headphone (though by headphone standards, its sound stage and imaging are top tier).I've tried other popular interconnects in this price range, both popular "Audiophile" brands as well as top sellers on Amazon. All of those others in this price range ($50 and below) sound like garbage. They cause a huge loss of transparency, lack of refinement in upper mids and treble (including sibilance), softer and less full bodied bass with weaker sub-bass, blurrier attack. These other, similarly priced interconnects outright ruin my system.But not these. While these are bested by higher end interconnects that cost many times more (Kimber Kable Hero and above, stupidly expensive Audience interconnects), it's still respectable in comparison and that's probably only really noticeable on a high end electrostatic headphone system and really high end speaker systems. Non-electrostatic headphones and speakers that aren't crazy high end don't need to go beyond this, the Blue Jeans LC-1 can be considered end game for those. 5Used to replace a bad phono cable on my turntable...The quality is impeccable! I am an emerging audiophile. To me 37$ on a 3ft rca cable is expensive, but relative to audiophile rca cable products that is a great price point. As soon as you get this product you immediately realize why it cost 37$. The quality is impeccable! It was like no other RCA cable I have ever purchased.I used this product to replace a bad phono cable on my turntable. So basically I removed the old RCA cables from the turntable at the solder joint, then I cut the ends off this cable, and soldered them to my turntable. The Low Capacitance was very important, because this cable plugs into my phono preamp. When I clipped the ends off the cable, I had a chance to see the construction of the insides. It is thick and very well shielded...there is a ton of copper in this thing! The quality was impressive. The thickness of the cable made it difficult to position the cable in my turntable for my specific purpose, but I made it work. For my purpose It would have been easier to use a thinner cable, but I wanted a really low capacitance cable.Nonetheless, after installing, my turntable has never sounded better! I can hear a difference in upper mid-range and high range audio frequencies...it is very apparent.I will be buying more of these cables as I build out my new upcoming system for sure! 5
