| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Fuzzbutt17Actually I live with 4 cats and 2 dogs...all rescues.Coolness!One of mine I got from my neice's friend whose cat had kittens. One I got from a rescue shelter. And the other two I adopted as stray/abandoned. Looks like I may be taking on ... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Oops. Nevermind. Just noticed you have your system listed. :) | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Beautiful!And the cat's not bad either. ;)Nah, she's beautiful too. Three of my four cats are gray tabbies or tabby mix.Here's my boy Taz (named the photo tenpin because that's what he looked like--he's since lost most of his beer gut).TazSo at th... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Fuzzbutt17I surrender. I apologize. I give up. What do you want from me?Simply recognizing that Electronics 101 textbooks don't tell you everything you need to know about how things work in the real world would be a good start.So long as you don't... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? MintzarThis would be so much more entertaining if it were translated into Pirate.Ya think?Let's see.Fuzzbutt17:Don`t say I didna warn ye about showin' yer ignorance o' electronics.T' start wi' ye be mixin' some truth wi' some falsehoods.When ye be... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? JrnI am sure Simple Q just likes to get people stirred up!Not at all. If someone is going to say something as incredibly naive as "If an electrical item SHORTS OUT it will NEVER cause a fire" (emphasis from original), I'm going to point out that i... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Fuzzbutt17I think you are mixing terminology Simple Q.Short = Contact = Zero ResistanceOnly in the overly-simplified, idealized world of Electronics 101 textbooks.In the real world, contacts have non-zero resistances.Shorts blow fuses/breakerNot a... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? BigkidzOh Yeah! My Mojo-Audio power cord just went up in flames. I get the $10K!!! I'm in the money, I'm in the money!!! Ben, I will email you where to PayPal the money! Wait, Oh no, the fire just melted my camcorder, so I lost the entire video, r... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Fuzzbutt17Simple Q...obviously a fitting name.It's Simply, not Simple. Perhaps a new eyeglass prescription is in order.Don't say I didn't warn you about showing your ignorance of electronics.Yes, I've only been designing and building electronics f... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Fuzzbutt17As for Simple Q, he may be knowlegable, but it was quite obvious he was looking for a fight if you read his comments in context.Also, in the case of a power cord having a short, it is ONLY possible that it would create a lower resistance... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? MintzarBoom goes the dynamite. Simply Q, it is obvious to me that you are bashing a product and an honest businessman for the sheer purpose of bashing him.I haven't bashed any particular product.All I said was that I wouldn't recommend using the c... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Fuzzbutt17Let's start with electronics 101...When you shorten the length of a wire or circuit (commonly known as a "short") you LOWER resistance.If you were to connect a wire between the hot and neutral of a power outlet, simulating a "short" in a... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Rx8manSimply, do me a small favor and stop quoting me, it reminds me of someone else in these forums, thanks.Sorry. I'm oldschool. Been communicating online like this for a quarter century now. Back in the day, you'd be admonished if you DIDN'T qu... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? And now back to another 30 minutes of commercial-free music... ;)Fuzzbutt17Anything is possible (just not probable).Yes, you could have some sort of a low resistance that MAY not trip the breaker and MAY heat up.I think you meant to say a higher r... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? MintzarI personally don't like listening to an audio system unless there's at least a slight chance it'll burst into flames at some point during the listening session.HA!Sort of reminds me of a quote from Nelson pass, regarding demoing gear at a s... |
