Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Speaker cable from BlueJeansCable

That was an interesting read. Like how they tried to "bully" the smaller player only to have them come back and bite them in the ass. Don't think they were expecting such a response and from an experienced lawyer of all things.

Kurt Denke is a smart guy. It is an excellent response. Always a fun read.

That letter is one of the best reads out there, no matter how many times I see it brought up it makes me smile.

I forgot about that one. Hopefully, Mr. Denke has had his letter framed and placed on display in the lobby of his head office.

I don't have any pix handy, sorry. I'll try to remember to snap a few tonight.

I bought these. I slid about an inch of shrink tubing on the speaker wire, then ran the wire into the base of the banana plug. Secured the wire with the screw, then slipped the shrink tubing back down onto the end of the banana plug so that about a quarter inch was on the plug, and the rest was down the speaker wire. Used a heat gun to shrink it down. Pretty easy.

Some of the connections look better than others. But overall it looks "good enough" for me. It was worth the small investment (~$20) in plugs, shrink tubing, and techflex, and the afternoon of my time to build all the speaker interconnects that I wanted.

The TechFlex was what really makes the cables stand out. Well worth the couple of bucks to sheath the wires in this stuff. It's purely cosmetic, of course, but it really is a nice finishing touch. In fact, one of my long-standing "oughta-do-that" projects is to buy a bunch of large-diameter wrap-around tech flex and bundle up *everything* behind my AV rack. Would go a long way in cleaning up the rat's nest of wires that are back there....

So you've got it over the individual wires+plugs, not over the wire sheath+wires, right? I tried to do both.

I'm with Peter.. I've got the same quad star speaker cables, interconnectc, sub cables etc.. I really like the quality look and feel of the BlueJeans products. Professional grade at an affordable price.

Kurt Denke(BJC pres) should sell signed and framed copies of this on Blue Jeans website...I think we gots a winner!

In addition to speaker wire, I bought banana plugs for connection to my receiver from monoprice as well. I used the supplied black and red heat shrink stuff.

Not the best pic, but here is a pic of the end result: I didn't really know what I was doing but it turned out ok.

You label your cables? What are you, smart?
