NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??

This thread should be deleted. Though there has been some very good technical information presented here, both sides have behaved incredibly poorly. A man with as many years of experience as Simply Q had to know what type of reaction was going to be provoked simply from being involved in forums for as long as he has. Especially with the tone often used in his posting. Not only does he have to have the last word, he has to have the last two words. I am not denouncing his technical expertise which is obviously very high, just how it is presented. And Fuzzbutt17 should have taken his own advice form early on and left it alone. What went from defending his product turned into advertising. I believe this was unintentional, but a lack of experience in dealing with people who see nothing but black and white and refuse to admit there may possibly be something called gray. To believe that we know all there is to know about the human hearing mechanism and how to measure everything we can hear/perceive is incredibly arrogant.

Thank you Csmogolf. I also wish this thread could be deleted.

I don't need "free advertising" and I am somewhat ashamed that I was unable to resist responding to Simply Q's postings.

He finally did send me a link to his website and I have to say that I think his cables look QUITE nice.

I've worked with similar cotton covered Litz wire that I got from NOS Western Electric switchboard "patch" cords.

Those cables sounded VERY good and though I've never heard them, I'm quite sure Simply Qs cables sound good as well.

You never know what sort of reaction you're going to get because you never know who the paranoid, overly-defensive, reactionary people are until after the fact.

All I can say is that with as many years of experience that I have, most people don't fit that description and are capable of having a calm, respectful discussion even when there is disagreement.

Not only does he have to have the last word, he has to have the last two words.

I admit, the "Good riddance" wasn't terribly good form. But I have my limits.

And as you can see, Fuzzbutt17 has trumped those measly two words with another 200 or so of his own.

He finally did send me a link to his website...

Because you finally sent me an EMail asking me as I had originally requested.

The blatant advertisng annoyed me more than anything. I enjoyed the back and forth but did not need the excessive commercial breaks.

Perhaps, as Fuzzbutt17 has claimed, he lacks forum experience. I hope he comes back without the pushy marketing messages.
