The owner's philosophy is that cables make no difference in the sound whatsoever. His prices are fair, but his products are not amazing for that reason. If one believes that cables provide no improvements, then Monoprice is the price leader.

I've purchased HDMI cables from BlueJeans and it is a good product. I'd trust them over Monoprice because I think most of their stuff is made by them. I tinkered with cables about a year ago and found that with higher end equipment, cables can add benefits so I ended up with Morrow audio. To each his own.
From the Blue Jeans Cable website with respect to the owner's philosophy...

"Our objective is to provide you with professional-grade cabling for your home audio and video components, without all the hype and pseudoscience sometimes associated with the marketing of audio/video cables."

"We want to sell cable the way engineers buy cable--on the basis of real, verifiable, measurable performance."
BJ Cable sells good quality cable with good terminations. I own a few pairs.

I think what the owner means is that his cables are neutral and do not add any coloration to the sound. I asked him for advice a while back regarding Canare vs. Belden cable and he replied with a lengthy email detailing the physics of how a cable is made and carries current between components. He said that neither brand would influence the sound in a system, and then added that some manufacturers sell cables to be used as tone controls and that this is the wrong approach.

It was not the answer to my question, but I think his point was that his cables provided a neutral pathway and did not add coloration to the sound of the original source material.

I agree with Runnin that with higher end gear, cable choice can provide different sonic benefits within a system.
I am not dissing Blue Jeans in any way; they provide a good bang for the buck.
