Hi Guys...Benjamin here...owner of Mojo Audio. A wise man once said: "we only learn from our failures and not from out successes." Of course in my opinion the audiophile market is more like that ice cream place that advertises 31 flavors...something for everyone. I don't want this to come off as an advertisement but I do what my customers to get what they want and to know what they are getting. Juan may be in the minority, but he is not the first audiophile to try one of my power cords and make similar comments of them sounding "dark/slow." Granted, I get just as many audiophiles that tell me the my 8AWG Cross-Helix sounds too "revealing/fatiguing" as I get that tell me it sounds too "dark/slow." By comparison, the NOS wire cords I make are on the darker/sweeter side of neutral. My ribbon cords are neutral and QUITE revealing and my ribbon cords with plated plug sets are more on the "lively/forward/intense" side of neutral. If a customer complains about "fatigue" I send them a clip on ferrite core and recommend a hospital grade isolation transformer that they can buy used on eBay for under $200. If a customer makes the "dark/slow" comments I recommend plated plugs. I sell both pure copper and plated versions of plugs with my power cords. Anyone that has done A/B tests will tell you that solid copper and brass are the most musically coherent and that plated plugs have a more "lively/forward/intense" sound. What some come to realize is that the more "lively/forward/intense" a plug sounds the less musically coherent it also sounds. Time, tune, and musical flow are sacrificed at the expense of excitement. I not only sell plated versions of the same pure copper plugs I use, I'm also a Furutech, Hubbell, and Wattgate distributor and can sell cords with any of their plug sets as well. My first year in business I sold sold brass Wattgate plugs on my basic cords and Furutech plugs as an upgrade option. I had more returns for refund in 3 months of offering the Furutech upgrade than I had any other year. Seriously. When I switched from the Wattgate brass to my current pure copper plug sets I went from about 10% returns to less than 1%. Live and learn. All that being said, let me end by saying that I would be happy to discuss ANYTHING with ANYONE off the forums but will not be adding to this posting. If you own any of my power cords and would like to try a clip on ferrite core or change to a plated plug set, I will gladly do this for the cost of shipping. I could never hope to be everyone's favorite, but I hope some of you found this helpful. Benjamin
