I've owned the LC-1 for about a year and it has been great.

I've had the Blue Jeans cable and I'd have to say it's a great cable at the price, especially considering that the connectors make up 75% of the cost. Nice sounding cable. I later switched the connectors to a Cardas cable and placed cheaper connectors on the 89259 wire and got the best bargain ever

Cheers,



I don't know what the 89259 cable is, I don't see it on the analog interconnects page but between the LC-1 and the old recommended 1505F cables i can't hear any difference

both are very well constructed as mentioned above, with the 1505F being more flexible and thinner

You can find the info on 89259 by clicking on the "or shop by coax type" link on the BJC home page.....

"Belden 89259 is a plenum-rated RG-59 type video coax, with a stranded (7x30) centre conductor and bare copper braid shield, and with FEP (Teflon) dielectric and outer jacket. Belden 89259 has become popular in recent years for use in high-end audio interconnects."

IIRC, there was some info on the old version of the BJC site that implied they thought it was overkill. I'd just go for the LC-1 and save some money.
