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 a cheaper silver IC, check out the Stager Silver Solids, at http://stagersound.com/silver/  

A fraction of the price of your typical silver content cables from Kimber, etc., but with some pretty good quality, no nonsense cables.

Good call on the Silver Solids, that actually is what I am using. They are an amazing value but also expensive compared to the Blue Jeans cables. I didn’t want to call them out by name, but they sound better than anything else I have tried. Probably the cheapest way to use silver without making your own.

That's funny, I wasn't even trying to guess!  I had been looking at cables in the $600 range, and so for me the Stagers at $120 for a 30" length is pretty cheap.

what are the prices of the Groneberg Quattro cables? TS Premium cables?


They're under $500/pair for ICs.

Blue Jeans makes good cable, but is certainly not high end...they even say they don't believe that cable makes a difference.
