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 traded my old version MA1s (2 pairs) for the new version...cost with discounts was about 50 bucks, a laughably small expense driven by curiosity only as I liked the old version's sound. After about 100 hours on the new cables they sound great...still breaking in I suppose, but that's actually somewhat mysterious as humidity, tube swapping, ear wax changes, violent mood swings, alcohol usage or not, pot smoking quantification (!), or not, and whatever else might be having an effect on the mini data I can glean from varying states of perception while listening to my Real Good sounding gear pile indicates that I have maybe 80 more hours for the definitive tone to arrive. I find that breaking in cables can take a while, and I like to listen to recordings as much as possible during that time so hey, I'll do the work!
I’ve purchased several MA cables over the last few years. The MA 1.1, MA3 and 5, the latter 2 ordered with the Eichmann bullets. I bought 2 pairs of the MA5 with the bullets, and they were not cheap. Now I hear that Morrow has scrapped the silver over copper design altogether, and claims the new all copper stuff is superior, and already has customer testimonials saying the same. What?

I’ve probably spent $1500 all in at Morrow because they said their cables were so good. With my current system I found my Morrow cables didn’t have the best synergy, and started buying Audioquest, the Sydney and Mackenzie.

I won’t be spending any more at Morrow.  
My original M1 Morrow cables sounded amazingly good, which means they know what they're doing regardless of the fact that 2 runs of silver clad copper is somewhat minimalist. I traded 2 cables in the "60%" off deal (out of curiosity, and the faith in my being able to remember to send my old cables back) and now that they're mostly broken-in they are VERY good sounding cables, this relative to my decades of using AQ, MIT, and other stuff.
My M1 cables( traded in a year later) we’re not very impressive in my system.  Simply not keepers, and it was apparent that Morrow had them in the line up as a gateway drug, a cheap entrance into his products.

perhaps they do better with tube components.
