NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??


I see that some people are starting to use this wire for speaker cables and ac power cables. Is anyone here using this wire? How does it compare to the cables on the market today? THANK YOU

The fact that Miguel has sold quite a few Troy units (an owner of which now owns 3 Mojo audio power cords AND is looking for an isolation TX) should attest to the fact that it is worth $12k in enough systems for him to be able to sell it.

I mentioned earlier I can believe his products work, I certainly know he spent a lot of time in R&D, but to state that something is worth X number of dollars just because it sells isn't necessarily true.

As to the owner you mentioned, why after spending all that money on a Tripoint product would they need to look for an isolation transformer? I would have expected at their price point that the Tripoint products would be the last word in lowering the noise floor.

FWIW I have had Topaz isolation transformers in my system. I do believe they lower the noise floor, but in some environments they create noise as well. After all they are transformers. I will say this, isolation transformers offer a much higher cost/benefit ratio than many high dollar power products on the market.

Just like some cable manufacturers, some people that manufacture power products are riding an incredible marketing wave.
BTW, the actual DEFINITION of "worth the money" would be if people are willing to pay for something.

To me a diamond is just a pretty piece of compressed carbon and worth relatively little.

Obviously I'm a minority when it comes to the value of a diamond.

I've heard people talk about how this or that product are not "worth the $$$" such as Mac computers or Mercedes Benz cars.

Then again, I don't hear that from the people that can afford to buy them only from the people that can't.

It is a VERY different story when I hear a person who has OWNED a Mercedes or a Porsche and has the means to purchase another one tell me they prefer the Toyota they now drive then a person that sits back and judges value on things that are out of their price range.

As an audiophile we all know how much more it costs for relatively subtle improvements in sound quality.

The only fair way to judge if a company's products are "worth the $$$" would be to see if they stay in business or not.
Simply q , "works" means it musically sounds better or more pleasing in your system. You have to have that defined,...really? When it does not work it simply means whatever you changed makes it sound not as musically pleasing.
Now I am sure you figure a way to argue about that too.
You are a funny guy. Yes you do seem to want to argue crazy things.
You might not think so but .... No matter. Every forum has someone like you.

You give either hit and run or avoidance answers to specific questions.

I don't care to waste time answering questions which have absolutely nothing to do with what's being discussed.

My guess is that I'm not the only person on this thread that would like to know the name of your company and have the address of your company's website.

What are you hiding from?

Not hiding from anything.

As I told you, if you'd like to know the name of my company and the website, just EMail me. However I haven't received any such EMail from you or anyone else for that matter so it would seem you're not so interested after all.

As for listing all the forums you've been a part of for so many years, all that means is you've had access to a computer for that many years and have potentially been criticizing some and misleading others for that long.

I never intended it to have any particular meaning or relevance with respect to anything I've said. You're the one who demanded the "resume." I humored you. Now you don't like some of the answers. Well boo hoo. They were completely irrelevant to begin with.

What I say either has merit or it doesn't and has absolutely nothing to do with who I am or what I've done.

Instead of sticking to addressing what I've said, you've routinely attempted to obfuscate and try and make it a "personal" issue.

FYI, I don't go on forums to promote my company. As a matter of fact I RARELY go on forums at all.

On this thread people gave my company's name, my eBay listing, and my website address and made accusations about my power cords bursting into flames.

And you had every right to respond to what had been said.

But you weren't content to stick to that. Instead you took advantage of the situation and used it to launch into a marketing campaign in an attempt to try and sell your products here.

From your first post in this thread:

I have DOZENS of customers that replaced their "whose who" Stereophile class A rated $2K+ power cords with mine. The same is true of my interconnects and digital cables.

Don't take my word for it. Don't take their word for it. I suggest you try my (or any other companies) products first hand, for yourself, in your system.

Everything I sell comes with a 30-day unconditional money back guaranty. All you risk is the cost of shipping. There is not even a re-stocking fee.

BTW, I am also "Fuzzbutt17" on eBay if you want to see HUNDREDS of positive feedbacks.

That's not addressing anyone's concerns about safety. That's just shameless, bald-faced MARKETING.

If you want to sell your products, that's what the classifieds and advertisements here are for. Not the forums.

I wouldn't even have noticed it if it wasn't for SEVERAL of my loyal customers sending me e-mails with a link to this thread.

And even now you never miss any opportunity to continue your marketing campaign.

What the hell has "SEVERAL of my loyal customers" have to do with anything relevant to this discussion?

Nothing.

Then you attacked me over several things that I wrote and we were off and running.

Ah, yes. The favorite obfuscation of the quack, the charlatan, the cult leader and the politician. Frame any sort of disagreement by others as an "attack."

BTW, Mitzar was referring to a specification from the website of Topaz where THEY state a -136db noise reduction.

Where is this Topaz website? Wasn't able to find it.

I don't know exactly what this means but any REASONABLE person would assume that it OVERLAPS not ADDS TO the noise of the system which makes it totally valid.

I'm simply going by what Mintzar said, which was "Two of which lower the noise floor by 136dB and the third by 146dB."

I took him to mean the noise floor of the audio system as ultimately that's the only noise floor that counts at the end of the day.
My eyes are tired after reading this.

Where's Sean and maybe Herman at a time like this ?
