I think this was a smart business decision. Many people believe that cables make a significant sound improvement. Others simply have money to spend and want something expensive and esoteric. Now they can buy all this from BJC. There is no point in ignoring market demand even if that demand is on shaky ground.
Blue Jeans Cable Iconoclast
I find it odd that Blue Jeans Cables, who always promoted that higher end cables don't make a difference (especially power cables) are now carrying this pricey Iconoclast line.

I have a pair of Iconoclast UPOCC Gen 2 4x4 XLR’s. Expensive but was a great match in my system. Only interconnect in my rig so that’s why 2!00 did nor seem so bad for pretty close to state of the art They will send you one to try. If you don’t like it send it back and they pay shipping both ways. You have absolutely nothing to lose. |
@benzman Thanks for sharing. XLR's would be over the top for me, both pricewise and work related as mine are like 15" long each and run under the house to keep them out of sight. Wouldn't mind trying out their speaker cables though, some time down the road. |
A couple of points. Cables generally don't make a substantial difference. If they do, your current stuff is of poor quality or a mismatch with your system's other components. Secondly, some us are in pursuit of even the smallest sound improvement, an end in itself. And we are willing to spend substantially in that pursuit. I respect and understand those who are less interested or able to do that. It has little to do with most non accountical music... and almost nothing to do with bands playing loud electric guitars. Cables, tube swapping, vibration control are all a part of that. Does the music sound better? Yes, more definition and depth. The small stuff is what thrills us. And, it is very costly so we are paying for the excitement. Five or maybe ten percent improvement for thousands more dollars. |
