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

silver is highly conductive,

it does not interfere with copper's behavior when under any given load,

Silver's oxide is conductive,

silver's oxide does not change the impedance spec in the gross or the minutia of the cable's possible loading scenarios,

it protects the copper from aging and oxidizing (breaking down, etc) in complex varied environments.

These things make it last a long time and work well under very widespread conditions.

Thus the mil spec of silver/copper wire. It says nothing about sound qualities, as you might imagine. Neither here nor there.

I work for an aerospace company where we vigorously test wire performance. Audiophile wires are straight up BS.

That's interesting. What "audiophile wires" has this company evaluated, and to what tests were they subjected?

And most audiophile so they say are deaf ...  all of you are idiots.

When you say "they," to whom do you refer?

Save your money and buy a Walmart wire ...

I'll buy my wire where I prefer, thanks. I'm not a big fan of Walmart, and I don't think the store even carries XLR cables.

I may have in a past working life lead a team running one of the largest Aerospace wire shops on the planet- Triple overbraid, nuke EMP type stuff. I would say ignore the peanut gallery :-) I know plenty of stellar Aerospace engineers who believe wires make a significant sonic difference.

Fancy Wires from aerospace engineers? You mean like these?

This thread is also IMO fantastic advertising for Morrow :-) certainly on my radar, now....
