Morrow IC's

lee maze.  sorry for the late reply.  Been very busy with numerous things and tied up with a few more diseased minds like fsonicsmith on a separate thread about cheap tube amps from China.

The Morrow cable is far better than the Nevergreen from AQ.  I could not hear a difference between stock IC's that come with a component or that cable.  I know that AQ makes some very good cables but that entry level one is not one I would recommend.  

Have the 1.1's going strong now and they sound fine.  Good detail in them.

It's possible to have too much detail. If that French Horn doesn't back off I'm driving to the venue with a tennis ball...

dr morrow = a lot more insulation, and less copper. I guess it can sound different.

So the MA5 came in, and I used the break in service for 240 hours. They’re only 18” long as it’s connecting components in close proximity( Nad C565BEE and Parasound P5).   Sound is quite good, with more detail and separation over the MA3 it replaced.

with my Rainmaker speakers, I’m wondering if they’ll be able to fully reproduce all the detail, and what speakers would be a good upgrade path if I stay in the Totem family.

Another thing.  Oddly enough, my Schiit Bifrost multibit sounds better with non Morrow cables.  The Black Mamba II from Audio Advisor, to be specific, just sounds nicer than the MA3’s.  This cable uses Audioquest perfect surface copper +,  with silver plated RCA plugs.

213runnin.  I've learned to own more than one kind of IC's for this very reason.  What sounds good with one component may not work as well with another.   I will be ordering another pair of Morrow IC's later in the year once I determine which pair I can afford.
