Best Of

All hooked up and doing its thing with the optical signal from my old Sony CDP-508ESD! Mainly wanted to see how the internal DAC in it compared to this and then decide whether the Sony is still up to the task all these years later, or use the Sony as a transport with the J2, or chase an entirely new CD player. I'll get a better feel tomorrow or the next day, but sounds d@mn good so far! Nice wide soundstage, great detail, very "musical" (natural/neutral) and dynamic.

Excellent job of packaging by @pearsall001 and all at a great price, perfect for a DAC noob like me, as he said. Thank you!

Another in a string of nothing but great experiences with the members here.

I use bjc 10 for my H/T. Hard to beat for the money. So versatile.

I like my BJC 10-White speaker cables.

It's 10 gauge Belden 5000 series for anyone not familiar. Pleasing budget cable.

I've found that I like this better than Canare Starquad, which I once found to sound thin and a little edgy in a known warm system, but that was years ago, and things have changed significantly since then and when I put in the 10-Whites. So who knows, maybe it would be different now, but that experience stuck with me. I know some of you like the Canare SQ.

The 10-White is good budget-y cable, imho. If someone didn't need a 30ft cable, Eric's shipped price here is a little less than you could buy bulk 10-White cable for from BJC.

Throw on some Kimber spades or bananas...

I use BJC in my Audioengine 2.1 desktop systems. This is not to say it's *only* good for secondary, non-critical systems. When I set up my Wharfedale Lintons in the main space with the Harman Kardon 990 around 2yrs ago, I used 10-White because I needed custom longer runs, and my 12ft MIT Shotgun S3s were not long enough with all the bends and placement, not to mention, already wired to the L800s, which have been parked since then.
