Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC?

I have and it seems to work very well, at least as well as my other more expensive ICs. Has anyone else tried it?

I have some nice "high-end" speaker cables and power cords. I can hear the differences they make. I can also hear the differences of various damping tweaks. However, with RCA ICs, the BJC LC-1 seems to work just as well as my Reality Cable and Canary ICs, and is better than some other high-end ICs I tried.

I used to be a Beta tester for a guy who makes cryo'ed RCA ICs. I could hear the differences among various versions of his ICs. But a pair of $30 ICs is as good as these 10X more expensive? Did I miss anything?

Yeah, $270.00.

I have two pair of the LC-1 ICs that I have tried in various locations such as phono to pre, and DVD or Blu-Ray player to pre. In my system there are ICs that work quite a bit better (Linn Silver, Shunyata, Grover-Huffman) in varying degrees (smoother, deeper, wider, lower), though this could be a system thing. I do think that the LC-1s are good enough to let a system do what it can do: if the system is very good, it will sound very good with the BJC LC-1s. For all I know they may be perfectly neutral with maybe a few minor shrtcomings, dpending on the system.

In fact, we are moving to a new house sometime in the spring or early summer, and will have a separate home theater system. It will likely be connected with Blue Jeans Cables.

Good math, but poor logic. If I did not spend the $270, how could I have missed it? LOL....

Nice try! :-)
