Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast

Sorry! The Design Theory link. 

@tonyptony - my point seems to be missing here. Not that these Iconoclast are uber expensive or that they have a great theory behind them, but BJC were one of the biggest naysayers regarding fancy cables.

I've had many, many BJ cables over the years and still do. I recall talking to one of the guys there and asked if they would ever consider making power cables and he said they don't make power cables because they make no difference in performance.

Now they are selling cables they said make no difference.

I have tried Blue Jean cables a few years ago. Over my 50 years pursuing high end audio, I have spent many hundreds of hours evaluating cables and their impact. I have a good system and can pretty quickly characterized the impact of interconnects and other wires in my system.

I own a fairly large collection of very good cables, Straight Wire, Harmonics, Cardas, Transparent (currently on all my equipment), DH Labs, Wire World, Shunyata, and a few more. I found Blue Jeans to be no better than commonly supplied interconnects with components, and cheap aftermarket brands like Belkin, Monster, or common Amazon type wire. As far as I can tell, Blue Jeans managed to sell enough to start thinking about developing something better.

No this is a pure Belden wire design. The cables are made by Belden and Blue Jeans is only terminating and marketing. This is not a BJ design. I did watch an interview of the chief engineer at Belden and the principle in this design, he now consults with BJC. 

@navyachts, everyone has the opportunity to learn, I guess. Probably helps that the man behind the Iconoclast name is the same man who, at Belden, was perhaps involved with the designs of the more common industrial cables that BJC believes in.
