it's really hard to say I like both setups, I just wanted to change & get familiar with this new line of subs...

Did you actually listen to tell if you could hear any actual, perceptible
audio differences between the cables?
If the Monoprice is in fact $7/three feet vs. $31+/three feet for the Blue
jeans cable, that's not really a close comparison, the Blue jeans cost over
4 times the price.
Do the Blue Jeans cables actually sound 4 times better, or even twice as
good?
I'm all for great cables, buying quality, I actually spent $110 for less
than 3 feet of Harmonic Technology balanced cables, supposedly single
crystal OCC OFC, it was the first "high end" cable I ever bought. They're
great cables, look and sound wonderful, I have nothing bad to say about
them except that they are a little too short.
Anyway, my point is that I have since considered it insane to have spent so
much on cables, but it was my foray into "high end audio" and I was perhaps
a bit too excited. I can only be grateful that it was only $110 and not
$1,000(not that I had $1k to actually spend).
I appreciate the video and your comparison, I guess I would only ask
whether you would consider it worthwhile to spend 4 times the money on
cables/interconnects, particularly of short length, if you are an
audiophile on a very limited budget?
Personally, I have been more than happy with my Monoprice cables(I have an
HDMI and a few XLRs, no stereo RCAs), I feel they are good quality for a
very low price.
But of course I have nothing to compare them to other than the "cheap"
stock cables that come with consumer grade electronics, basically I'm
talking about the string thin cables that come with a DVD player. And to be
honest, I've compared them to better cables(not high end, but better) and
could hear no significant difference.
The build quality of the Blue Jeans cables does look to be excellent, so if
I can find the extra few bucks I will definitely keep them in mind when
considering new cables.

If I want sound improvement I buy a nicely recorded album, upgrade speakers, or upgrade electronics. "I am exactly the same way. I just wonder whether it's worth spending 4 times the price to have the privilege of saying I have a nicely built, durable, aesthetically pleasing set of cables, if there is no perceptible difference in the performance. Don't get me wrong, the Blue Jeans Cables look great(I imagine they sound good too) and I would love to have a pair, they just seem a bit expensive to me. And I actually just got new speakers and am looking for some good cables because the ones I have may not be enough for my needs, not quality wise, but in terms of compatibility and having enough to make all the connections. Thanks for the video and the response, take care.
I did not here the difference, but on your system with your ears you may. I look at this as more of a hobby than anything so for me I like to have nicely built, durable, and aesthetically pleasing cables. If I want sound improvement I buy a nicely recorded album, upgrade speakers, or upgrade electronics. Yes, the LC-1 is 4x as expensive as the Monoprice. But, I'm not sure it's fair to expect and/or quantify that the amount you spend more has a linear correlation with a performance metric. A Ferrari is not twice as fast as a corvette. I'd take either car by the way :)Thanks for your comments and for watching,tDS
You asked to be corrected if you are not pronouncing the word correctly,
so...
I'm not sure, but I think the farad was probably named after Michael
Faraday, fæ.rəˌdeɪ/
So the unit pronunciation is probably not "far - ad, with short a as in
bArn" so much as "fair, such as in bArrow, or mArry."
It's pronounced more like Faereds, pico faereds, not far - ahds.
Take this with a grain of salt, but I think I'm right; and frankly, your
pronunciation bothered be a little bit, just a little bit.
Obviously I know what you meant and the video content is of much greater
importance. : )
