Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs.


Just got a notice in my Email about this. Seems like the new design went into production in June. It does have me scratching my head a bit. I’m wondering if any Morrow Audio cable users (old or new design) have comments. The link will take you to the announcement that provides details on the new cable design including instructions for determining whether someone has received old or new design cables.

A. I'm not a naysayer. I like Morrow cables.

B. The issue is with a part of the offer that applies to customers like me.

C. The 'offer' part that applies is dead in the water and doesn't merit consideration, again for me. In other words, I don't come out ahead on it. In fact, I'd be taking a significant loss.

What's amazing (and sad) is not being asked by someone who has never purchased a Morrow product 'WHY' two members who are customers don't find the 'offer' attractive or relevant to them. 

Look, Morrow can do whatever they please in terms of how they structure their offers. I'm completely fine with that. 

What I'm not fine with is Morrow themselves saying it's a generous offer when it clearly isn't and I'm much better off not taking it.

Morrow clearly knows what they are doing and they clearly know who this offer isn't good for. To say and imply otherwise is both foolish and disingenuous.

I am also not fine with a member, who hasn't purchased a Morrow product nor been their customer (presumably), waxing poetic about this being a generous offer when two actual customers are disagreeing with that.

The decision tree is extremely simple. Very uni directional, as @geoffkait  is fond of pointing out. We're talking cables, right?  : )
How is this different from the frequent situation in audio where manufacturer X comes out with a v.2/mkII of their previous product, with a whole new wave of adverts extolling all the improvements they've made over the original?  How do those who purchased the original feel at that point?  Duped?  Comforted by the fact that manufacturers always exaggerate the differences between v. 1 and v. 2?  Or?

Exceptions: when v. 1 is entirely ungradable to v. 2; when manufacturer X offers 100% trade-in value.  These, it must be said, are pretty rare.
@david_ten +1, Well said. @twoleftears Yes, duped, as was in my example of my Audio Research SP6 purchase. Enjoy ! MrD.
Wow, so much angst out there over an improved design cable. Let me state that I have been using Morrow Audio cables from the beginning in my system. I have continually upgraded using their "trade-up" program. As a matter of fact I just purchased the new MA-6 XLR interconnects in the improved design. I also use SP-7’s on my speakers and the digital cable on my Aurender. I couldn’t be more pleased with Morrow cables. In the end, I think Mike offers an outstanding product with the opportunity for upgrades at a very reasonable price. Say what you want but I love my Morrow cables.
