This thread has been temporarily closed - the member involved has been in hospital and had no opportunity to respond and/or defend themselves.

 

Right now, our first and highest priority is their health - and we would not want to burden them with the stress of this.

 

Once we have heard from them and they are in a position to do so, we will reopen the thread for their reply and further discussion.

 

UPDATE 1:35PM - We have heard from Bill, and he is OK but received some pretty horrendous news. I have been assured there is a very logical explanation for the confusion with his cables, however he has asked for a few days to process this information and he will respond here when he feels up to it.

 

UPDATE 21st December 2021 - Sadly this situation has become most disappointing for all those owed money or product by Bill. We were successful in obtaining refunds from Bill for many members, but the true extent of undelivered orders was never realised until now. We have kept pressure on Bill despite his situation to return the money to members for products he seems unable to deliver, however most communication has been ignored. We have also been told by Bill to "back off" and that upon legal advice he has received, that we are "overstepping the boundaries" of our obligations and his obligation to those members that are out of pocket (whatever that means). I have been sympathetic to his situation, however that does not change the fact that tens of thousands of dollars of member's money remains unaccounted for. When pressed on this matter, Bill's response was that he was leaving StereoNET and simply provided an email address for member's to contact him by.

There is not much more we can do to help this situation. My only hope is that Bill does the right thing by all those people that supported him.

That’s correct 

No the cable is branded we but when you undress it it is a canare cable 

I see, now it’s clear. It wasn’t before.

That’s correct I found this out after I sold the speaker cable so I contacted Bill to confirm that the fella who bought them needs to know but he assured me the speaker cables were genuine

Is this cable meant to be western electric wire used?

Or it looks like 1 red negative and 2 solid core 26g for the positive?

Mmm, I'm just waiting for my WE clock cable with Furutech CF-BNC.... A long running saga so far with a few things going wrong. Express Posted to me a few weeks ago but Aus Post don't seem to have scanned it in. I'm sure it will work out but it is a little frustrating at this point.

 

Had sold my previous WE clock cable with Canare connectors to another member but have offered a refund in light of the lengthy wait and unknown regarding wire used. Either way they do sound fantastic so no way I'm opening them up until I've something better to replace them with. They sound better than my Tchernov Special clock cable so really rather nice.

Exactly the same scenario with me @MattyW regarding a 1m Western Electric DC power cable I ordered with an Oyaide DC plug and an Aviation GX12-2 connector. Not sure what is happening?? I mentioned to Bill he should be posting cables out over the counter rather than in a mailbox so you can get instant tracking. It's very frustrating as you mentioned. Sending numerous PM'S also gets annoying.

Hmmm… I thought it was just me waiting for my new cables.  I’ve ordered a couple of pairs of ICs on June 27, paid for on June 27.  First the order got lost.  Then there was a delay posting due to illness (understandable). Then no communication after posting to get a tracking number…. Probably about 40 messages in total.

Hi

i think bills been in hospital so that May account for delay and also a fairly hectic wedding

I believe this is the case yes. Some health issues and his daughters wedding so with some luck all good. Nonetheless Australia post should have delivered by now since it was sent on the 7th? Anyway,  best to give the benefit of the doubt.

 

I'm sure this will sort out eventually. Still for an reasonably expensive cable ($260) paid 10th of June, with difficulty getting a response to a PM outside of publicly mentioning this is really being to frustrate me. Particularly given no matter how many PM's are sent a response can only be had by mentioning publicly in a thread.

 

Still,  I'm sure this will sort itself out despite the wait so far. I'm just not sure how patient I need to be as I think I have been very patient so far....

Correct although the canare actually sounds surprising good so dose my audioquest and dhlabs and other cables I had I wanted to hear what the Western electric brang to the party sadly not the case

The Canare, and the Mogami equivalent, both have excellent shielding inside the black jacket. A foil outer shield being added is odd.

 

If one end is still connected, can you see if the foil is electrically connected to the connector ground or chassis?

So thats poly tubing, the clear stuff?

 

Whats the red conductor insides insulation/jacket made of?

Posted

The red one is just the sheid wire or ground is that correct the twisted pair of silver or tined copper are the signal wire I will have to check the canare cable

XLR?

 

Will generally use two identical conductors for + and - (pin 2 and 3) and shielding for ground/pin 1.

That's what looked odd to me why cover the cable with tape when you could clearly see the shielding it's just tape which splits every time you move it so not very effective anyways 

Posted

yes the canare is connected in that way twisted pairs to signal and return and shield to ground

The foil tape wouldn't be doing anything. Assuming it doesn't completely break apart, and is connected to the XLR chassis at the end, at at least one end, it would act as a very light shielding, but much less dense than the meticiously designed and honed braided shiled it has under the jacket (Mogami is spiral, Canare braided/woven). If its its not electrically connected at either end, then it just will act as a faint antenna, if it does anything at all.

Can you take a closer photo of the twisted pair in the clear tubing, is the material on them cloth or pvc?

Posted

Yes correct was the reason I pulled it off because it looked exactly the same as my dc cables which run canare to good affect 👍

Posted

S there is apiece of it next to the cable broken off no dialectic is used def no oiled cotton lol
