NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??

My dick is a fairly average: 6" long when erect.

The problem is that you once again asked the WRONG question.

A more pertinent question might be how many lovers have I had, how long did these relationships last, how often did I have sex, and so on.

You see, I don't find the size of my dick so important but what I've been able to do with my dick.

Interestingly enough, that is a direct comparison to my original questions that you avoided.

It is not MY opinion of MY accomplishments (or my dick) that matters, but rather the opinions of others that allow me to verify if I have truly accomplished anything or if I'm just a "legend in my own mind" as they say.

Some examples of what I've done in my career (without the use of my dick):

I had my own computerized embroidery business for over a decade. My customer base read like the "whose who" with customers like Lexus, Toyota, Intel, Chase Bank, United Way, Big Brother's and Sisters, and Lucent Technologies.

These companies could have gone to ANYONE but the went to me.

Before that I was a consultant for about a decade in soft good manufacture and had consulting contracts all over the country as well as Jamaica, Mexico, and Canada. I worked for companies with NFL, NBA, and NHL products licensing.

Before that I was a product development engineer for a famous international footwear company (that I am discrete enough not to name) that had over $20M in sales.

My current Audiophile products company is growing so fast that I can hardly keep up with current sales even with hiring two new employees this past month.

I'm not bragging. I'm trying to make a point. There are HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of people over the years (not to mention lovers) that could have gone with other people or other company's products but have chosen ME.

This means something.

All I know about you is that you own a computer and you think you know everything about everything and you spend your time criticizing others rather than accomplishing things yourself.

There's an old expression: those that can, do. Those that can't, criticize.

What the $%#! have YOU ever done?

How many HUNDREDS of people have confirmed by choosing to spend their hard earned $$$ with you that the products or services you provide are the best value on the market?

BTW, coming from product development and having been a business owner I can understand WHY a company wouldn't put too much information on their website. It is because they don't want their competition to steal their ideas.

Having "patents pending" for the longest period of time possible is a PROVEN business strategy. When you get a patent you have to EXPLAIN HOW YOU DID IT. This allows your competition to attempt to circumvent your patent and steal your ideas. Also, once you have a patent, it is only for so many years so you want to delay the clock as much as possible so that you can enjoy exclusivity as long as possible.

Then again, this is a "big boy" business strategy that you probably wouldn't understand since I sincerely doubt that you have a business of any size yourself or you would have answered my original questions and you would have KNOWN the significance of those answers.

I've know a number of people who have implemented this grounding scheme with great results and at a significantly less cost than Tripoint charges for their technology.

Finally had some time to read post 28 in that thread.

I'm afraid Danmyers has some common misconceptions about "ground."

Namely the misconception that "earth ground," i.e. a rod stuck in the ground, has some particular relevance to an audio system.

It doesn't.

Many people believe that earth ground is some magical one-way drain for noise and RF.

It isn't.

He recommends using a number of copper braid ground straps tied to your components and then brought to a single point that's plugged into the safety ground socket on your wall outlets.

This won't help in any way with regard to EMI and RFI.

Now, what it CAN do is help reduce noise from the single most common source of noise in audio systems, and that's interchassis leakage currents in the safety ground lead of the power cables.

Long story short it's due to capacitive coupling between the AC cord's hot lead and the safety ground lead.

The safety ground is connected directly to the equipment chassis and in many components, the signal reference ground is also tied to the chassis.

Leakage current flows through the safety ground leads and because those leads have a non-zero resistance, there will be a voltage drop across them. This voltage can then appear at the inputs of interconnected components.

By using the copper braid to connect the equipment chassis to the safety ground socket (and it's only about that connection, not any connection to earth ground), you're creating a lower resistance path for interchassis leakage currents and subsequently a lower voltage drop.

However while it can be effective, it's really nothing but a band-aid.

The real culprit is the safety ground.

And it's only required on equipment chassis that don't meet Class II (double insulated) standards.

The manufacturers of low- and mid-fi gear have been designing their chassis to meet Class II specs for decades, and is why you see none of it come with three prong cords.

However the so-called "high-end" manufacturers have yet to figure this out and three prong cords are ubiquitous, even on equipment which may well meet Class II specs. So instead they foist three prong plugs on everyone along with the problems they can bring about.

Sadly, if a high-end manufacturer did come out with a product that didn't have a three prong cord, many would perceive it as some sort of inferior product.

I've been involved with high end audio for nearly 30 years. I designed and developed my first commercial product some 20 years ago (you can see a photograph of it here). It was the inspiration behind Corey Greenberg's Aunt Corey's Homemade Buffered Preamplifier DIY article published in Stereophile back in 1991.

If you've ever read the article, I'm Elvis.

I've been involved in the online audio community for over 25 years, from The Audiophile Network BBS and CompuServe's Consumer Electronics Forum in the 80s, to Audio Asylum and diyAudio today.

Currently my company manufactures interconnects and loudspeaker cables and I'm working on some electronics I hope to introduce this Fall that utilize passive signal amplification, something I've been developing off and on over the past five or six years.

I also do contract work for several other audio companies.

Happy now?

Simple Q try one of the 8 awg Mojo power cords.
Then state your opinion. Do read your replies? You Sound very arrogant.
You seem to relish in arguing for the sake if arguing.
You asked the defintion of "works" I bet most everyone knew what that meant.

Jrn

Simple Q try one of the 8 awg Mojo power cords.
Then state your opinion.

For what purpose exactly?

And it's Simply Q, not Simple Q.

Do read your replies? You Sound very arrogant.

Why? Because I have opinions you may not agree with?

You seem to relish in arguing for the sake if arguing.

Nah. If I were arguing for the sake of arguing then I'd have to try and come up with reasons for arguing. Too much work.

You asked the defintion of "works" I bet most everyone knew what that meant.

So tell me what it meant.
