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?

For me BJC are nice ones especially for the price, but they sound a bit grainy in my system and are not airy/spacious enough for my taste. They are not as refined as other cables either.

IMO it's worth paying more to get better cables than BJC in high-end/hi-fi system unless you really found good synergy with them.

I use BJ LC1 cables in my turntable mainly because of their low capacitance. I like the connectors as well. Nice cable.

BJCs are good, solid OFC cables. They're good for upper mid-fi to entry level high end systems. But, they do not compare to up-occ copper and high grade silver cable. That's what you wanna use for a high end to ultra high end system.

Blue Jeans makes good cable....their philosophy is that cable makes no difference in sound....therefore is just "good" . Solder connections, etc. are 1st rate.

IME, I wouldn't agree with that myself...

Do BJC also believe that all amps sound the same?
