| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Fuzzbuttl7If an electrical item SHORTS OUT it will NEVER cause a fire; it will simply flip a circuit breaker or blow out a fuse. That is why electrical codes insist on these safety device in all home and commercial circuits.That's a rather dangero... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? ElizabethAnd, finally, copper oxydation: if someone believes oxydation is no problem, well sorry for you.Why sorry? It isn't a problem, your misinformation notwithstanding.Also, most all of that wire is tin plated, not bare copper.folks are paying... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? BigkidzSimply do you know what wire that is being used in the cords? WE made a ton of different wire right?. Just looking to understand - I am not looking for any arguements.No, I don't know the specific wire that's being used in that particular p... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Rx8manHey Simply, these cords been running in my rig for about a year, how the hell are they unsafe ?And wiring in some peoples' homes had worked fine for years, until it failed and started a fire.Look, the sad fact is that any clown can take some... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Rx8manWhatever the case may be, the Mojo-Audio NOS W.E. replaced all my 2K PC's pretty damn fast, and for the price of admission, who cares ?Your neighbors might care should your house go up in flames. :) | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? Elizabeth"Copper developes an oxide which acts as a protective layer which prevents futher oxidation"..AND prevents current flow. Copper oxydation is BAD for signal transfer. since the wire carries the signal ON THE SURFACE OF THE WIRE, and the wi... | |
| NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables?? ElizabethFirst off, ALL old wire is corroded.No.First, copper doesn't corrode under normal conditions. It's not like steel where any surface corrosion (i.e. rust) continues throughout the metal until it finally turns to dust.Copper develops an oxi... | |
| Do all good interconnects sound the same? Those two don't look dangerous to me. I wonder what they were paid back then to look out for the third rail. | |
| Do all good interconnects sound the same? "Sound different" and there being an actual audible difference aren't one and the same. According to some, placing photographs of yourself in your freezer will result in your system "sounding" different and provides an excellent example of how are... | |

| directional cables? HermanQ, I have completely destroyed any argument you've presented.You haven't even addressed in any valid fashion, let alone destroyed, the most salient and germane argument I have made. Instead, you could only resort to dismissing it out of hand... | |
| directional cables? Jea48So if I understand you correctly even though the generator is putting out alternating voltage, where the voltage changes polarity, all a connected load sees is pulses.You can imagine the load seeing the voltage just as you'd see it on a 'scop... | |
| directional cables? So there you go Q, the debate has come full circle. I kicked this off by saying it was a bad idea to use that phrase because it confused people and did not describe what was happening."Alternating current" describes current which flows alternately... | |
| directional cables? HermanSo yes and yes, as long as you keep flipping the switch it flows back and forth.Ok.So you agree that when I flip the switch one way for 10 seconds, there is "current" "flowing." And if I flip it the other way for ten seconds, there is also "... | |
| directional cables? Hey! Get in line! I still have two questions pending. ;-) |
