Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast


I find it odd that Blue Jeans Cables, who always promoted that higher end cables don't make a difference (especially power cables) are now carrying this pricey Iconoclast line.

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.

A 4 foot pair of XLR in OCC = $2100.  I would say that is very expensive.  I did read the whole intro and I'm sure they are good cables.  I do have to chuckle a bit at the supposition that what makes these cables so good is the fact they finally found an engineer who knew how to make good cables.  So all these other high end manufacturers have just been guessing up to know? I mean really, has there ever been a cable manufacturer that hasn't made the same claim, just using different words?  Otherwise the guys at Cardas must be slapping their heads and saying "oh, that's how you do it".   😆
