Between the two, the BJ cables blocked considerably more of the interference. Although this is obviously a worst-case scenario.
But its also nice to know that your $2 monoprice cables blocked considerably more interference than many vastly pricier self-proclaimed audiophile cables would have.
I've only used one cable from BJC, and I don't really like how bulky and stiff they are. A larger diameter means they can design the cable to have that ultra-low capacitance, but its not significant in most systems. Monoprice is better in this respect but still kind of bulky. I use belkin cables for short runs, and make my own cable for longer runs (for which I can calculate the capacitance myself)
where do you get your raw cable from?
I usually have some cable on hand. Redco.com has a good collection & price for studio-grade cable and is where I get most my stuff, but if you're looking for more exotic stuff(for better or worse)... takefiveaudio, moonaudio, partsconnexion, michaelpercy, thecableco, for starters
and then theres.. ebay,soniccraft,vhaudio,vt4c,homegrownaudio,qables,parts-express,markertek,cryoparts,doublehelixcables,diyaudiostore,canford.co.uk,audiophonics.fr,hifidiy.net,thlaudio off the top of my head.. some of which I like, and some of which I don't
