Maybe do a short video with a phone showing the looseness. Post here or send it to BJC.

I tried posting pics here didn’t work but actually sending one to Blue Jeans is a great idea..and will try harder for this post

Way more money than you need.

These Monoprice cables have RG6U which is good for interconnects and have a nice look to them. You can also get their cables via Amazon.

Either of these Worlds Best Cables have premium connectors and wire.

Even these are pricier than necessary, but if you feel better or just like premium looking stuff not too expensive.

For that $$ I’d suggest making your own. Or try (Worlds Best Cables) on Amazon. Both would be a lot less $$. (And just as good)

"Investing" in cables is like "investing" in duct tape... just get the second or third cheapest ones in the length you prefer and don't worry about it.

Ya sounds about right…so I took the cable for the amp and preamp off, big light and magnifying glass for a peek..lol
They look fine to me…lol

As for the sound quality of RCA cables, there are 2 key things that distinguish high quality cables:

1. Robust connectors & cables, with high build quality that lasts over the years.
2. Low capacitance/reactance, so you don't get treble attenuation with long cable runs from devices having high output impedance.

Blue Jeans LC-1 is excellent in both categories, and not too expensive.

Note: one more point that is often debated: cable shield connected to ground - on both ends, or on one end only? I wouldn't worry about that, but there's more on that topic here at ASR if you search. Also, Blue Jeans published their own opinions & testing on shielding: https://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/humrejection.htm

I put it back on sorta twisted it seems to be on ok…music is playing great..just have to keep a eye on it…no kids or pets to mess with stuff…I never have owned any other cable for years…I was having trouble a month ago with banana plugs going into my Pass Labs amp, the right channel would not play sometimes…checking all the interconnections seemed fine so thinking I wasn’t getting a good speaker connection I sent the Blue Jeans BAV speaker cables back for spades to be put on just for the amp…bananas for the speakers were fine…so moral of the story it was the right side interconnect sagging at times..so I have been fighting this for a while..and they are only a couple months old when I got a new amp

 

[Chrispy]

My Pass Labs amp and preamp should have good RCA connections and my two dacs the Denafrips Venus and New Ontech should be good too..damn

Maybe they planned on the monster death grip connectors Too bad there's not a true standard to adhere to

Definitely don’t want that lol…I remember many years ago 20 or more one of those Monster RCA pulled the connection out of a Yamaha amp lol

I am going to let it go being not one person has had a problem, still probably email a video tomorrow to Blue Jeans..

I did buy a monster cable back in the day (local, owned by a friend's cousin) and it indeed had the death grip and developed issues until I modified it somewhat. Most of my rcas fit just fine, tho....can't think of an issue in quite a while but no bluejeans stuff....is it particularly heavily jacketed or something where weight plays a role?

Wish I could get a pic to work but not heavy,

I'd be playing with the "ears" for better pressure on connection for the most part if BlueJeans doesn't have anything better to offer. I've never had with many many different rcas over the years migrate out of position, even ones that feel a bit vague on insertion.

 

[Speedskater]

So we have 2 cables and 2 audio channels.
Trouble shooting should be easy.

I just sent Blue Jeans a video showing my loose connections let’s see if they respond, if they do I will share it here…I did call them yesterday it didn’t go good ._

Scindex is even cheaper.

Not looking for cheap looking for something that does the job well, my system isn’t cheap

Cables don't need to be expensive or a certain % of the cost of the system. You don't need $10,000 electrical wires for a Ferrari just because it's an expensive car. BJC are great, as are the World's Best Cables options shared above.
