NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??

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

What the $%#! have YOU ever done?

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.

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.

I have to chime in again.

Miguel is WORKING on patents for his products, they haven't gone through yet. Once they go through he will be displaying all of his technology for the world to see. Be fair.

I have heard Miguel's Spartan and Troy products in his personal system. They are quite good. I wouldn't purchase them myself, but I also have 3 Topaz isolation transformers. Two of which lower the noise floor by 136dB and the third by 146dB. I have heard MANY high-end conditioners and not one comes close to the neutrality or sheer effectiveness of the Topaz. I have brought them over to quite a few houses (Ben, RX8MAN, and Agear included) and not one time did I leave them disappointed in the performance. Quite the opposite.

Next... magnets.
Cables of all kinds, and anything that has any sort of current through it creates a magnetic field. What you may not be taking into account is that when magnets are added together their magnetic field DECREASES. By adding magnets to cabling and various other products you are effectively decreasing the magnetic field around the conductor. The pulsing of the magnetic field increases resistance in the conductor. By minimizing this magnetic field and lowering resistance you have less distortion.

Let's also cut the crap here, Simply. Grounding systems DO make a difference. WHY they make a difference isn't quite what we're talking about here. 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. It seems to me that you are taking every point that someone makes and telling them why they are wrong. Interestingly enough, every point that has been made on this thread is a topic that has made not only a difference, but the SAME difference in every single system I've heard it in.

SimplyQ: I am impressed by your hew-ing of the UL's and [wire] resistances in your path, but I am interested in your definition of "work" and "quality" and "subjective."

Are you game?

If they let me out of my cage to resurrect order, its something that I do...
