Whats playing on your system today?

falconquest,

Jow S. is amazing. He is another one of my guitar hero's also...arcam88 and I saw him live in Cincinnati at the Taft theater in 2007. As always Joe put a great show. The Taft is an amazing place to see an artist of his caliber. Very good accoustics and seating and a very adult setting.

 I sometimes use his Joe Satriani self titled CD when I'm demo-ing my rig to friends. 

Can't forget Chickenfoot or his contributions to Mick Jagger and Deep Purple. Great addition to the thread.

Hey ghosthouse, falconquest, 

I hope you dont mind but I peeked in your system profiles :)
How do you guys like the Morrow SP4's? Morrow is a local business and I was considering a change.

Thanks,
Nutty

Hey N...
I’m very happy with the SP4s. I had some ClearDay double shotgun speaker cables I was running before. I liked them a lot but needed a bit more length. Can’t remember what made me go Morrow and not stay with Clear Day. The Clear Day cable really was an eye (ear?) opener when I put them in. However I got there, I think the SP-4s have just a bit more clarity than the Clear Days yet aren’t too edgy or hard. I’m still using Clear Day jumpers with the SP-4s on the Totem Forests. Most of my ICs are Morrow too now. The exception is a Cardas Parsec on my CDP and the DH Labs digital cable from the V-Link 192 to DAC. My system page needs a bit of an update I think. I might trade up from the MA-3 on my TT to an MA-4 on that.

Morrow has a 60 day trial which certainly takes the risk out. I always check out his used stuff too. PLUS he runs a lot of specials. Not so long ago he was offering credit toward his cable for any other brand cable you traded in.  There might not have been any trial allowed on that deal...no returns on his wire.  

Dunno what you are running now but can’t hurt to try some SP-4s. Just be patient. With his stuff, early on, the SQ can change from one night to the next. One night everything will sound great. The next night, like crap. They do seem to take a while to settle in. It’s not like they are atrocious out of the box...more that you will get used to a certain sound and suddenly the next time you listen, it ain’t there. But things get back to normal and sound good pretty quick.  Good luck on what you decide.

By the way, found Moondog Matinee "Carry Me, Rosie" on Spotify. I like their sound. Reminds me of Black Crowes a bit - the singer’s voice and the style of music. This is more my style of music than City Boy.

ghosthouse, 

Thanks for the input on the Morrow cables and the Clear Day's as well. I've been reading a lot about Clear Day Double Shotgun and they seem like a sound investment.  But Mike Morrow is literally a few miles from my house.  I could probably set an appointment to see some product first hand.  I am currently using Audioquest Gibralter double biwire, for your guidance. I'll let you know if I make any changes.

Playing in my system today, a little band from Louisville, KY. "Tantric", self titled. First albumn of theirs is really good. It's not guitar hero music though. The CD is recorded very well. If you haven't heard it, check it out.
