Blue Jeans CableCanare 4S11 Speaker Cable, with Ultrasonically-Welded Conventional (Non-Bi-Wire) Terminations, (One Cable - for one Speaker); Assembled in The USA (10 Foot, Grey, Bananas to Bananas)

I have spent a lot of money on cables throughout the years. Cables that promised liquid, velvet, chocolatey sound. Cables that cost a lot of money in order to justity these companies exorbitant advertising budgets. Cables that frankly, were overpriced and underdelivered on the lofty expectations of this audio enthusiast (Audioquest & Transparent, I am looking at you). Unfortunately, audiophile consumer has no regulations or checks and balances. Snakeoil salesmen can peddle the prettiest cable you have ever seen and convince you that you will hear things you have never heard before. It's kind of like the vitamin industry, take this little green pill and every ache and pain you feel will magically disappear, until the next little blue pill comes along and they need to convince you that you cannot live without it. That is how the audio cable industry operates, they convince you that a problem exists and promise you the world towards solving this supposed problems if only you buy their cables. It's all a load of nonsense. Now, what you get with a Blue Jean speaker cable is going to be great sound without the bells and whistles or hype that these other beautifully made speakers deceptively promise. I am ashamed to say I have fallen for the hype, beautiful cool looking cables and cables with little boxes on them that promise to filter out junk. I can honestly say I heard no difference in audio quality when I switched out my Transparent MusicWave speaker cables and subsituted the Blue Jean cables. Listen, a well shielded, well made and terminated cable like the BJC will perform at audiphile levels without lightening your wallet. Go out and sell your gorgeous flashy cables to some other sucker that doesn't know the electrical engineering, physics and science behind good sound. Are these cables beautiful works of art? Well, if your idea of a work of art is a well crafted product with attention paid to quality and price then heck yes. This is a beautiful cable that will make your music sound "liquid", "velvety" and "chocolatey" all without the added price so that you can spend that extra cash you saved buying these on liquids, velvet and chocolate. Stop reading this review and buy these cables if you are interested in great sound, affordability and no audiophile B.S. Don't repeat my mistakes purchasing expensive cables that promise the moon and only deliver in draining your wallet.Thanks for making great cables BJC, we all owe you a nice drink someday.

Have used the cable with several speakers and several amplifiers. In every case it has sounded clear and clean. Like all speaker/amp combinations, some work better than others. I would say this cable is not a rich sounding cable. When I purchased a Denon PMA1600 integrated, which IS rather rich sounding, it made an excellent pairing with this cable into my Wharfedale EVO 4.1 stand mounts. Just the right amount of life and light balanced by rich detail and a bit of warmth. I cannot say enough about this combination of gear.The best thing for me is the setup seems to work well for every music type I love.....Max

I changed all of the wires in my system to Blue jeans cables. I still am not sure about this argument that cables do not make a difference. All I know is that every time I added a blue jeans cable to my equipment the improvement was noticeable immediately. I am extremely happy with this brand and I'm extremely happy with these cables. What you have to realize in the end is that the connectors are probably the most important part of cables and that's where the blue jeans expertise comes in. By without hesitation. High quality.

I wasn’t an ‘audiophile’ who put much belief in costly power or interconnects for my equipment. I did upgrade ALL my cables, but I did so carefully, and always within a budget—except for speaker cable. And I was content. I wasn’t finished (are we ever completely content) with tweaking our gear. So, having lived with my equipment for nearly 2 years; I recently added the KEF Kube 10b sub (on sale) from Amazon to my smallish listening space—for those few low octaves that I knew were missing. It is a very nice addition for my Revel M106 standmounts. Tight bass, no boom-boom.I had put these BJC speaker cables in my ‘save-for-later’ part of my Amazon cart, maybe 6 months ago. Ten-footers, two of them. My old 10 gauge diy cables seemed okay—except for the banana plugs. They weren’t a good, snug fit in any of the ports (Amp L+R, two speakers L+R). Not quite tight-fitting enough for me. An itch I wanted to scratch... Okay.Into the cart, a week ago went the BJC Canare 4S11 cables with locking banana plugs. Four days later they arrived. I’ve bought from Blue Jeans Cable before, but not speaker cables. I was shocked, flabbergasted at the improvement to what was a slightly warm, well-detailed sound (I thought). Suddenly, channel separation, definition, stage depth & height were all improved in my system. Not a suggestion of improvement; real “WOW, that’s new!” stuff. So, maybe it was poor-fitting bananas(?). Maybe. Partly.But, now, now I’ve got close to 'everything' I promised myself years ago. Kudos, BJC.And still on a budget.

These are as good as you'll find folks, can you spend $5K on others? Sure, but you don't need to. These have a super grip from just a turn of the collar. They expand and hold tight with way more contact area than other spring type banana terminals. People ask about the line of diminishing returns, well this is it. It doesn't improve above this price. No fancy sheathing to get dust and fur caught in it and make you cables look yucky. Nope, these are smooth and durable. Last cables you will ever buy unless you change rooms and need a different size. Get the shortest cables possible, the cables' impedance has less impact on your sound quality when you have shorter lengths.
