Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast

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. 

BJ makes cables for a specific market and there’s nothing wrong with that. But to say that they are “High End” is just advertising.

They are selling power cables under the Belden / BAV line at the request of customers like me. The wire geometry used has been explained and the connectors are top quality.

The power cables are high quality and worth the asking price IMO.

I believe they are working on a power cable for the Iconoclast line but it is not fully developed yet.
