I think you are mixing terminology Simple Q.
Short = Contact = Zero Resistance
What you are likely referring to is called a SPARK GAP.
It is VERY common for old homes to have electrical fires caused by a combination of old/worn wiring combined with renovations that move the wires causing shorts and spark gaps.
Shorts blow fuses/breaker and spark gaps create carbon that can potentially result in high resistance, heat, and fire hazards.
It is also common when a novice upgrades vintage gear that they cause a similar fire hazard.
Lets make this simple. There are only TWO reasons for electrical fires. Products that are being used beyond their useful life and products that are being used beyond their rated specifications (user error).
In both cases UL listing don't help and neither of these cases apply to any of my products.
Simple Q is obviously not a customer of mine with a grievance.
He has neither heard nor touched any of my products.
What's the deal then Simple Q?
Why do you feel the need to twist my every word in an attempt to discredit me and my products?
What have I ever done to you?
Did I date your sister?
Is it past life karma?
Are you just bored or are you simply a mean person looking for a fight?
If I have done ANYTHING to offend you I sincerely apologize.
As for the rest of you on this thread I apologize that you had to bear witness to my less than professional behavior.
Most of my offers still stand:
Mojo Audio has changed its return policy to include full refund of ground shipping both to and from.
In addition to a 30-day 100% money back guaranty I will now offer a 90-day 100% trade up policy.
You'll see these changes in my next eBay listing and on my website in the near future.
As for my offer to Elizabeth to try my power cords, that still stands. If you don't prefer them over what you are currently using and decide to keep them I'll give you $100 over and above anything it cost you to audition them.
As for my $10K "burst into flames" challenge that was irresponsible of me.
I seriously doubt that any person that would attempt to collect on such a challenge is capable of doing it in a safe manner.
It would surely be "Jack Ass" with electronics.
Sorry to disappoint, but I take that back.
I've written more on this forum in the past 24 hours than my total forum writing over the past 24 years.
Sorry to say, I will no longer be commenting on forums.
Now I understand why some of my friends that manufacture high end audio product with more experience warned me about getting into it with people on forums.
If you feel the need to bash my products or my integrity as a businessperson, please feel free. You won't get a response out of me in the future.
If you feel the need to communicate with me vs. make a public display, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or call and I would be happy to attempt to answer any of your questions.
In any event, I do not recommend coating my or any other companies power cords with bacon grease in an attempt to lure your obnoxious neighbor's dog into chewing on them.
