Blue Jeans Cables Jumps the Shark

[carlob]

Old news, these cables are around since 2015 and as far as I know they are made by Belden, the guy that designed them used to work for Belden until he retired and set up his own company. I think he owns a couple of patents on his design like this one: https://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?docid=09293239&PageNum=9&IDKey=7B8877109996&HomeUrl=http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1%26Sect2=HITOFF%26d=PALL%26p=1%26u=%252Fnetahtml%252FPTO%252Fsrchnum.htm%26r=1%26f=G%26l=50%26s1=9293239.PN.%26OS=PN/9293239%26RS=PN/9293239

On the Iconoclast site there are a couple of papers with details of the design: https://www.iconoclastcable.com/story/index.htm
I think BJC is only a reseller.

Needs more Quantum

You always have to leave room for the next upgrade...

Interestingly, I was having an email conversation with BJC recently re. speaker cables where he suggested that audible differences in speaker cables aren't realized until you're past 100 ft in length.

Depends upon the speaker, amp, and wire size. But, generally speaker wire length is not an issue in a consumer installation.

See e.g. http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm and specifically http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#wiretable

Actually, it is the primary issue.

Note the smiley. If it's too short, it won't work. If it's too long, it's wastes money and space.

Ah, you used a facepalm, so I assumed I wrote something stoopid again. No worries.

Years late comment on a years late thread…

In fairness to BJC, towards whom I’m favorably disposed, the community here seems to be OK with paying price premiums for scientifically demonstrable though inaudible benefits in DACs or amplifiers. If there’s actual science here (I’m not qualified to speak on that) and BJC makes no claims to audibility and they accept returns no questions asked, I don’t feel they’ve compromised their integrity here.

Well, it's like Vodka:

What is Vodka?

60% water, 40% ethanol (in the US)

"In the United States, many vodkas are made from 95% pure grain alcohol produced in large quantities by agricultural-industrial giants Archer Daniels Midland, Grain Processing Corporation, and Midwest Grain Products (MGP). Bottlers purchase the base spirits in bulk, then filter, dilute, distribute and market the end product under a variety of vodka brand names. Similar methods are used in other regions such as Europe."

Gotta have a story...

A fancy name probably doesn't hurt, either.

And a nice bottle, with a unique cap.

I just noticed the Luekens Liquors Barton Vodka above is #1 in vegan vodka

Can you make Ethanol from meat?

Ok, I'm only doing vegan vodka from now on.

Hey Ray, can you help me with a the statement made here:



How does something like this get observed, do you know by any chance? I tried googling some of this stuff, I can't find much to this ordeal.

Even if that really happens, it's likely to have a sub-microscopic effect on S.Q.
