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

Hi, I got 'em.

Last year, just for curiousity, I purchased a pair of that analog interconnect LC-1 from BlueJeanCable.com just to see how they stand against the world of high end audio cables.

Long story short, yes, I like them. As matter of fact, I still have them on right now. Being having them on my system have no any means that I do not know how to enjoy "high end cables". I just like changing the seassonings on my stakes from time to time.

So, how do they sound? I say they'd probably sound like Cardas or MIT; very smooth and rounded. Not so bright and details as Nordost but I wouldn't call them "warm" either. Unlike any other ordinary "cheapies", the LC-1have a little "taste of high end" as well. For $30, they're great value and affordable cables. Highly recommend.

I also purchased the, once recommended by Stereophile, digital coaxial Canare LV-61S (single shield 24awg) and the LV-77S (double shield 22awg). I like them both. Those digital Canare cables are body printed "made in Japan". I instantly acknowledge the Japan's very high quality: deeper black, smoother, and softer rubber body. Better feel, prettier, and flexier than the Belden LC1. All three models were terminated by very nice, heavy, and well design Canare RCA fittings. Reason I say "well design" here is because they feel very nice and smooth when they were being inserted inside the female connectors. You know that feelings.....

They may don't look that good in pictures though but give yourself a try and you'd probably scratching your head wondering why the heck BJC would sell them for such at low price. Very fast delivery too.

I have LC-1's in my system. Long story ... after reading a few favorable testimonials about BJC, I ordered a pair for a rather long run from phono pre to preamp/proc mainly because I wasn't sure about getting too heavily into vinyl. So I wanted to keep the price of admission as low as possible. I liked the LC-1's so much that I picked up a pair for a second bedroom system. That led to a purchase of their speaker cable as well.

The I/C's were so cheap I bought an extra pair to use while evaluating a CDP I was auditioning against my reference player. BTW, that led to another cost effective (cheap) discovery ... the Volex power cord. The trick was to have identical cabling (I/C & PC) to easily A/B these players side-by-side.

The result was that I discovered a sound - particularly with my TRL modded CDP - closer to my turntable set-up. This was after trying out a number of low-cost / high-value I/C's ... Signal Analog 2's and Silver Resolution, Speltz Anti-IC's, LAT International, HGA Silver Bullets, Audio Art IC3's, Reality IC, and Morrow Audio. How could this be? I was almost embarrassed to admit that these BJC RC-1's performed as well or better than the more costly models. Multi-channel duties require sets of cables, so I can use most of what I still own. But the RC-1 is the I/C from source to pre for 2-channel. Who woulda thunk it? That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Give 'em a try.

I have a/b'd a pair of LC1's against Acoustic Research Master series (silver plated over copper twisted pair) from my Arcam DV139 to my Wyred4Sound STP-SE preamp. The preamp outputs to the amp are AR's also.
Not even close. The AR caused a loss of soundstage, image and openess that was appalling. The LC1's are crystal clear with that palpable experience. Now what do I do? I just got an email as I am writing this that said my new LC's have been shipped. I will replace the IC's from the pre to the amp and see if it makes a difference there. My amp is seven channel and all of the outputs from my HT pre pro are fed with AR Master Series also. They are well built, made with the right stuff and all, but from my player to the standalone pre the Blue Jeans stomp all over them. I am really interested to see what, if any, difference it makes in the next part of the chain.

I just got a pair of LC-1 and Belden 10 gauge white speaker cable for my parents' system and decided to try them out before passing them on.

Now although they have not been broken in- only listened around 30-45 minutes. They are very good. I am comparing to MA3 and SP3 by Morrow Audio. The difference was larger with the interconnect than the speaker cables. The speaker cables almost sound the same-- just cleaner, more refined with the Morrows. The IC's had a larger difference--but again, cleaner, more refined with the Morrow's, but a much clearer gulf between the 2. But the Blue Jeans Cables were very good. And not sure if they would sound a lot better if broken in, but had to give my parents their Christmas gift!
