I work at BJC - the ultrasonic welding method we use (mentioned at 4:13) is ONLY on our speaker cabling. It is not used on any other cabling. These are crimp connectors that are installed with 10K lbs presses.

I've used both the LC-1 and monoprice "premium" cables and think both areas good as your going to find especially at their price points. The one caveat about the Blue jeans LC-1 is the cable is stiff enough that it limits how close you can put something to a wall, keep that in mind if you have space constraints.

Monoprice = Very good cables and an extremely low price Blue Jeans = High end cables at an unusually fair price. You really can't go wrong with either one, but I have my entire system wire with Blue Jeans. RCAs, HDMI and speaker cable.

All great stuff from BJC. I LOVE there cables. Great quality and no bs! And affordable. And yeah, I really never understood why companies make a “subwoofer” cable but it being a different color to keep things simple for connections are pretty cool. But it’s an RCA cable, nothing different about it other than color. Lol.

Great video. Just ordered. Cheers I can't believe I just spent 50 euro on a bottle of wine😂😂

LC-1 was developed for video use, where the demands are far greater than for audio. Hence the superiority for audio.

I have the LC-1s on my prepro to multichannel amp. Fantastic cables. The connectors are not Canare but are called Taverso. Just for the record. Nice video.

How much of a difference in sound quality have you noticed? My stereo has no RCA runs more than 18 inches, except the Turntable which I use a 3ft cable for.. Would these really make a noticeable audible difference?

The LC-1s are hard to beat at any price, and at their price point are unbeatable. Great detail and bass extension.

I upgraded to a new AVR and connected my computer to it via an RCA cable. With the new gear, I was getting some audible hum (electromagnetic interference, aka EMI). I bought the Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 and connected it to my computer and AVR receiver. I also did my best to re-route the RCA cable on the back of my receiver away from the power cord and now the hum is gone. The Blue Jeans LC-1 also has great sound quality. This is a quality product at an affordable price.

I just bought this subwoofer cable from blue jeans for $45. I’ve always just used this brand called media bridge from Amazon for about $8. I’m hoping there’s a difference? lol

I've had nothing but trouble with the LC-1 cable, too loose on both my Denon and subwoofer connections resulting in lost signal and bass. Believe this is partially due to the length of the connector It just puts a lot of weight on the terminal. Replaced it with Mediabridge and never had the issue again.

Farad is pronounced Fair-Add. I don't know how to pronounce Canare either, but I know I love their cable. I buy from Blue Jeans for three good reasons: 1 - I can't afford a cable that is of better quality than they produce. 2 - I can't hear the difference between BJ and $1k cables. 3 - I can order custom lengths. (Neat wiring is the sign of a truly cultured individual :) I do wish they offered the option of a premium wrap/pants on their speaker cables so I could have the look of ridiculously expensive boutique wires. Good review btw.

Jimy Hendrix used very long, over 20-25 feets, high capacitance coiled cables to tame harsh sound signature of fender start + marshall amp combination. Eq sound is audible when using loooong cables. When connecting short rca cables in audio system like couple of feets (up to 2-3 meters) with low capacitance cable ( 20-30pF/ft) I bet all people claiming that they do hear difference will fail on every blind test. The difference would be inaudible. I've been using profesional cables for more than 25 years as musician and sound engineer. Having said that I do encourage to invest in good quality cables. Me myself have very good experience with Mogami.

Fa-rad is the pronunciation because it is named after Michael Faraday the physicist hence the unit being a capital “F”. In terms of charge storage in a capacitor, a 1F charge is an enormous amount so, we use smaller versions of the unit to measure capacitance. milliFarad microFarad nanoFarad picoFarad femtoFarad. The oddity in Blue-Jeans is the American use of non SI units such as feet and inches. You may have to convert to capacitance per metre to compare with specifications in other brands. Blue Jeans may seem a little lower if you accidentally overlook the units when comparing with other brands quoting capacitance per metre.

hey nice review :) How these LC1 work with your TT? I am considering Blue Jeans in near future. Cheers mate

Both are high quality, and will sound the same.

No one ever beats a double blind cable test. That being said, The lc-1 deliver the signal intact. Poor cables, and many expensive cables do no. many high end cables have R/C components inside. That adds capacitance and resistance. That also rolls off the top of a cable's response. Some people like that, and spend mega bucks on cables that just roll off gently. I prefer accuracy. I use BJC exclusively. They make my former expensive analysis plus cables sound diffuse and rolled off by compare (because AP are capacitive).

I need 13m of subwoofer cable. I have 2 subs. Cable will be installed in wall and under floor. Is LC-1 good way to go . Some people mentioned that for example Transaprent cables are much better with better sound. Thanks!

did the cable help the noise you had?

their LC-1 makes for an excellent subwoofer cable, too

Did you actually listen to tell if you could hear any actual, perceptible audio differences between the cables? If the Monoprice is in fact $7/three feet vs. $31+/three feet for the Blue jeans cable, that's not really a close comparison, the Blue jeans cost over 4 times the price. Do the Blue Jeans cables actually sound 4 times better, or even twice as good? I'm all for great cables, buying quality, I actually spent $110 for less than 3 feet of Harmonic Technology balanced cables, supposedly single crystal OCC OFC, it was the first "high end" cable I ever bought. They're great cables, look and sound wonderful, I have nothing bad to say about them except that they are a little too short. Anyway, my point is that I have since considered it insane to have spent so much on cables, but it was my foray into "high end audio" and I was perhaps a bit too excited. I can only be grateful that it was only $110 and not $1,000(not that I had $1k to actually spend). I appreciate the video and your comparison, I guess I would only ask whether you would consider it worthwhile to spend 4 times the money on cables/interconnects, particularly of short length, if you are an audiophile on a very limited budget? Personally, I have been more than happy with my Monoprice cables(I have an HDMI and a few XLRs, no stereo RCAs), I feel they are good quality for a very low price. But of course I have nothing to compare them to other than the "cheap" stock cables that come with consumer grade electronics, basically I'm talking about the string thin cables that come with a DVD player. And to be honest, I've compared them to better cables(not high end, but better) and could hear no significant difference. The build quality of the Blue Jeans cables does look to be excellent, so if I can find the extra few bucks I will definitely keep them in mind when considering new cables.

no law of diminishing returns - law of zero returns; no reason to spend more than it takes to get the LC1 or similar spec'd cable

I would think too that paying 4x more to go from Monoprice to Blue Jeans would mostly just be for improved look and durability. That is true for sure but to say they sound better... I highly doubt it, at least for small distances of 3-6 feets. I've compared today my Monoprice RCA + Monster Speaker cable with 1000$ of AudioQuest cable I've borrowed from a store and I couldn't believe that on a 4000$ audio system there was absolutely ZERO ******** difference! They even said to plug the power cord of the amp directly through the wall instead of the power surge, yet again 0 difference from my 5$ cable on the surge vs the 250$ thick power cord to the wall. AudioQuest is total snake oil scam so Blue Jeans is the very most I'd be willing to pay for good cable that I'd keep forever. Hell even Monoprice could last me a lifetime, it's not like if I'd be plugging/unplugging my wires 10 time a day (-_-)

doesnt know what he's talking about, but he's giving a class

ONLY Superman can hear the sound improvement on RCA cables that has couple "pf" less capacitance (picofarad, one trillionth (10−12) of a farad) . Save your money. MonoPrice cable are good enough.

Has the noise gone from ur previous cables?

Looks like you need 6 inches clearance behind you amp for those Lc-1

It's pronounced 'pico' 'fair - add'. Canare is 'Ka' 'nare'

Bjc.. Cables can get expensive.. Understatement.. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm at 1k..

Accent is on the "farr", not the "ad." Pi-co-farr'-ad.

Pronounced fair ads

TheDutchSandwich, I watched this entire video, hoping to learn something significant about two different RCA cables. I did not really get that information. To be sure, it is interesting that a certain technique is used to sonically weld plastic parts of the connector housing together, but that does not affect sound quality. It is worthwhile mentioning the difference in diameter of cable jackets, but without some information on what that actually means, it is not all that useful. I am also concerned by the mis-pronunciation of micro-Farad.....anyone who has actually studied the necessary theory to understand the fine points of cables would already know the correct pronunciation, but an eager amateur might still wish to make a video nonetheless. But then, a passionate amateur would most likely look up the pronunciation of words that they don't know before making a video for public dissemination. I hope you can continue making videos, but put that little bit greater effort into the front end before doing so. It is fine to get part way into something and then realize a lack of knowledge, but it is best to then do a little research and add a correction during editing and before publication. Just throwing it to the viewers to make the correction, when the answer is so readily and easily obtained, is what disappoints me here.

Check out this video on KZfaq:

Horrible host...

I'm sorry I'm really sorry but I have to Enlighten you you have a Macintosh preamp and you're using $30 cables why don't you buy a decent pair cables you don't have to spend more than maybe $150 for a one meter pair I would suggest audioquest and give it a listen many of the high-end stores and websites have a money back guarantee. also on eBay you can purchase a fine broken and cable cuz it does take time to break in the cable for a nominal fee. but right now my friend what you're doing is putting Pep Boys Tires on a Ferrari please take the time to give a better cable a listen. not that you don't get your money out of these $30 cables but you really should do yourself a favor I give them a listen the better cables that is there's a reason for it and it's just not small. last but not least please don't take this the wrong way but HiFi it's also a matter of educating yourself and the best way to do that is to listen.

You asked to be corrected if you are not pronouncing the word correctly, so... I'm not sure, but I think the farad was probably named after Michael Faraday, fæ.rəˌdeɪ/ So the unit pronunciation is probably not "far - ad, with short a as in bArn" so much as "fair, such as in bArrow, or mArry." It's pronounced more like Faereds, pico faereds, not far - ahds. Take this with a grain of salt, but I think I'm right; and frankly, your pronunciation bothered me a little bit, just a little bit. Obviously I know what you meant and the video content is of much greater importance. : )
