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.

I was led to believe silver coated copper was better than all copper.

The US Navy uses Teflon silver coated copper so it probably can’t be too bad. I’ve used it. It sounds good.

Right? Especially with all the Krell and B&W Nautilus speakers they have running around those aircraft carriers and F-15s. 

Come on! :) Suitability for the Navy doesn't make them necessarily suitable for audio. But I have to admit, those cables are pretty sexy when you can find them on e-bay.

US Navy communications/electronics requirements in some cases are far more stringent than audiophile requirements in terms on noise and distortion, i.e., signal to noise plus distortion ratio.

We use high quality connectors. We provide a secure mechanical connection of the wire first to the connector, then solder it for a tight electrical fit. The details and how we do that are proprietary.

As to your statement, "but his pursuit of ultra high priced cabling is laughable", here is what one of our customers said about our Elite interconnects at $2995.00 per 1 meter pair...

"First I want to say that your new cable is replacing a (brand omitted) This cable was very expensive at $10,000/meter. They have a very balanced sound with bass detail that I had never experienced before.

After the first recordings I listened to; I knew that the (brand omitted) were no longer required. The Morrow cables surpassed them in every way with much greater transparency. Details from top to bottom where much greater and easy to recognize. Vocals in particular seemed to have greater annunciation. Song lyrics were significantly more understandable and soulful. Dynamics overall were greater and faster.

In conclusion I find the Morrow Audio cables to be my new reference. They are well made and easy to install. The connectors are all high quality and are quite attractive." Edward M
