Blue Jeans Cable Isolation Transformer Review

[Hart]

I am so curious about the six "great" votes for an obviously defective device. Do they work for the company or just enjoy being controversial?

We have a whole thread dedicated to the awesomeness of distortion. But here I suspect pure trollery

Maybe they should be ejected if they are not on here to be productive

I guess you can get by with mechanical product verification and QA if your business is buying known-good connectors and cable and making finished interconnects. Choosing transformers for audio, maybe not. I hope Blue Jeans quickly withdraws or revises the product or explains how the one Amir got is unrepresentative.

Otoh, I'm wondering if transformer saturation might be a marketable design for analog distortion pedals for guitarists. Thomann Music lists 710 Distortion Pedals on their web site. Some of the designs are deliberately weird and weird sounding. So why not?

You might contact them and ask for comment first.

Why? They produced the product.

Nevertheless I have just emailed them asking for comment. Suggested they comment here, but if I hear from them I will pass along what the reply is.

Our mods do a good job, but it's challenging. Some trolls make accounts they don't use for months, for example.

I like World’s Best Cables and own a bunch of their products, but they’re also guilty of spreading audio BS.

My understanding this is just part of the joke, like the signal direction.

 

[nerdemoji]

thats pretty funny. Also, the 90s influence on this album combined with weaker songwriting compared to their previous two albums makes it not great.

 

[nerdemoji]

Off topic, but have to say, HELL YEAH, Forbidden are freaking great.

what your favorite album from them?? im torn between twisted into form being great all around and fairly progressive, but forbidden evil has their best songs.

 

[Multicore]

And then people buying the cleanest DAC possible to hear all that distortion .... oh the irony

Well, mibby they listen to renaissance recorders as well as EVH. And anyway, some of us put a good bit of effort into carefully recording our distortion, you know!

But, yeah, hifi is a funny old hobby, isn't it? (⟃ ͜ʖ ⟄)

Maybe ASR should implement a feature that actually shows the usernames with the associated vote?

So people can discredit them? Or for what would that be necessary?

I can make the poll public in which case, it will show the aliases. That may however deter legitimate voters who don't want to be challenged on their vote.

We can use this data to assume that about 6% of total is in error.

I see no need to size them up for a coffin for the first failing. If it goes ignored and they continue to offer it then there's reason. Perhaps they'll be interested in fixing it or may discontinue it.

Thanks.

Maybe you should consider the concept of free will, it means you can vote however you wish.
Maybe you’d be more comfortable in North Korea or China, I believe it works the way you prefer over there.

 

[fpitas]

Their website now indicates "out of stock."

Flying off the shelves for distortion enthusiasts?

 

[GWolfman]

Our poor SINAD as a result has dropped to just 5 dB!

Yikes! This calls for a new lower level than broken panther; perhaps a pile of ground up ceramic?

I have no problem to admit I'm one them.
This item is so flawed that it has greatness in it's way, so it deserves a Great.

I was wondering if some voted great just because it is so greatly flawed, thanks.

Sure you can be a troll if you want, but the rest of us have free will to choose to not be trolled. You left out the Cambodian Pol Pot regime. He would be insulted.

While generally I don't find BJC products particularly attractive, this one does make me scratch my head as to what the goal was.....
