blue jeans cable?

@grannyring , I got the economical Synergy set and just may plunge for the Virtuoso in the future. The Synergy still uses 12 GA cryo'd silver stranded conductors but the bananas are gold plated over copper. 

Going all silver is very tempting.

All the best,
Nonoise

Yes indeed. As I said it may well be system, taste, or even location driven. The same cable is loved by some and hated by others. Love this hobby! 

Agree + Grannyring...

Grannyring's first post summed up my experience perfectly.  They make a decent range of cables and they're excellent value. However I soon discovered that I could make meaningful (to my ears) improvements by spending a little more on other . I'd personally recommend improving cables beyond BJ quality before getting into serious component upgrades, although there are many people who quite satisfied with them. 

So you have a dealer (BJ Cables) who knows it all and denigrates others who feel otherwise based on their own experience. Not the objective type, I’d wager. Gotta love the know-it-alls.

Unless jaybe is an electrical engineer, or has experiencing manufacturing cable, it's rather likely the the owner of BJ cables does know more than jaybe about cables.


But such details don't seem to matter when it comes to audiophiles who hold their own perception as inviolable and indisputable.
