NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??

This is pretty entertaining and yes, I do realize that makes me a totally pathetic geek nerd. I would have no fear or concern using Ben's cables by the way...geeez people..........

HAND MADE WITH PRIDE IN USA

That means something to me.

Too bad some people would rather purchase imported products with UL listing made in a sweat shop by uneducated 3rd world slaves.

Mojo Audio not only creates the finest quality in hand made audiophile products, we also create JOBS.

I've recently hired two people to work for me to keep up with the demand for my products.

Also, 100% of Mojo Audio products are made in USA.

Granted, some of our component parts are imported, but the design, assembly, and packaging are all done in the US.

Mojo Audio is also committed to ONLY making products in USA. No matter how great the demand is for our products in the future they will ALWAYS be made in USA. I will NEVER import ANYTHING that I can produce in this country.

Nothing gives me more pride than to ship my US made products to one of my many Asian customers.

Why have their been so many upgrades to Mojo Audio products over the past year? That is because we don't "hold out" like most companies so that they can launch new products at the next show.

Are products are HAND MADE in SMALL BATCHES so we are able to upgrade our materials and methods frequently.

We also don't have a product line at different "price points" just so we can market to different customers. We only make products that are the BEST VALUE on the market or we don't make them at all.

Have you wondered why we don't sell speaker wires or why it took YEARS before we sold interconnects and digital cables?

BTW, speaker wires will soon be available as will USB cables and filtered power distribution centers.

Made with pride in USA still means something to some of us.

A friend and I both had big-name tube amps that are UL listed (joke) go up like the 4th of July, because of unknown weak or defective driver tube(s) upon turn-on, power cords were the least of our issues.

So go get yer fire extinguishers ready, it's gonna be a hot summer.

Simply, do me a small favor and stop quoting me, it reminds me of someone else in these forums, thanks.

The NOS W.E. power cords are here to stay.

And now back to another 30 minutes of commercial-free music... ;)

Anything 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 resistance.

And what exactly would make that event any LESS likely than than a lower resistance short which would trip the breaker?

It was you who said that if there was a short it would NEVER cause a fire because it would ALWAYS trip the breaker or blow the fuse.

That's just plain naive.

To confirm what was already stated: the specific NOS wire I use is MIL SPEC and has cloth covered rubber insulation.

It would have been nice if you'd have said as much on your website or in your eBay ads.

And please, dispense with the "MIL SPEC" stuff. It's little more than a hackneyed marketing buzzword.

Mojo Audio not only creates the finest quality in hand made audiophile products, we also create JOBS.

Great! We can certainly use more jobs. Especially jobs MAKING things.

Nothing gives me more pride than to ship my US made products to one of my many Asian customers.

If that gives you more pride than simply making a quality product no matter where the customer may live, then I think your priorities are little misplaced.

In other words, you don't like your customers to spend too much time enjoying what they have before you tell them that what they have isn't as good as what they could have if they upgrade.

It's certainly good marketing and does help to increase the bottom line. I mean, there's a very good reason why half of the stuff you see on the shelves at the supermarket have "NEW & IMPROVED" on them.

Though I'm not so sure that it serves the customer well and I think more and more people are growing tired of the upgrade merry-go-round.

We also don't have a product line at different "price points" just so we can market to different customers. We only make products that are the BEST VALUE on the market or we don't make them at all.

Let me get this straight.

It can take you YEARS before you put a product on the market, but once you do, it gets upgraded frequently?

Sounds backwards to me.

Why not spend those YEARS getting it right to begin with so you're not having to upgrade so frequently?

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 quote.

I won't quote you again.
