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 work for an aerospace company where we vigorously test wire performance. Audiophile wires are straight up BS. And most audiophile so they say are deaf. Unless you are a machine who can measure Hz difference then all of you are idiots. It’s true that audiophiles has bitten by snake oil😂😂. Save your money and buy a Walmart wire and convince yourself it sounds better. And you’ll have a better retirement account where you can actually enjoy listening to live music. Do you think the well known manufacturers uses stupid audiophile wires when they make their amps and receivers? Don’t think so....
We’ve seen how aerospace companies do with designing and vigorously testing passengers jets, no? 😛
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.

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.
