How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups?


Not only that I get weekly emails about sales. Lately titled "Christmas in July".

I’ve done the trade-up a few times, but I’ve got to say, I can’t fathom how they can profit with discounts as huge as those.

Are they selling off used stuff as new?

 Another thing, has anyone dissected a cable to see what's in it?

If you insist cables are less damaging scam...😊

"I will not give my opinion about the scam in all this.. 😊"

 

I own Morrow cables and like them very much.  Buying during their 65% off annual event around Christmas is the only number that means anything to me.  So, is their MA7 Interconnect Pair - 144 SSI, XLR, 2 meter worth $750?  For me the answer is yes.  Are they worth $2098?  It's a moot point as I only have to pay $750.

Now there trade up program is another story.  They are offering 80% of the original purchase price against the full retail price of a new item.  When you do the math, you find it's usually cheaper just to buy the new item at 65% off.  Sell the other cables privately.  Same as buying a new car.  You are always better off selling your current vehicle privately and dealing cash on the new one.  

Finally, calling Morrow Cables "junk", as noted above, is just plain silly.  Don't want to own them yourself, then don't buy them.  No need to disparage all the others out there that have bought them and find them a good product.  

The ICs are a value at the max discount. I've never tried their power chords or speaker cables, they look expensive. The math has never allowed me to do the "upgrade" thing. Used ones sell briskly for me.

Their understated advantageous quality is their form factor.

So...

@ Roxy and @ buellrider.

 

 I first bought a pair of MA1 IC's a few yrs ago.

I bought another  pr which eventually  used for trade-up to MA2.

These were used with my Nak TA-3 until I decided I missed having tubes.

Then I need another pr so bought another MA2 which I now don't use bc I have MA3 x2 for my Jolida to Sony DVP cx995 and a Cambridge Audio Dac Magic 100 which I switch to Topping E30 on occasion.

My Topping D3 is connected with Neutrik cables to my Yaqin MC 84 and some Amazon cables from the DVP.

 There's not a lot of difference between the quality of sound from either my Vandersteen with Canare spkr bi-wire or B&W spkrs with MA SP4 when I switch back and forth between amps and vise versa.

( I will say the SP4 sound better than the SP3 I traded up.)

They sound best together because what one pr lacks, the other somewhat compensates.

The spkrs are all essentially rubbish anyway. I picked up the B&W DM 630 for $60, and the Vandy's for $300 a few yrs back.

 Not damaged, but not great. 

 As I was typing my reply this AM, the sun shone through the MA3's.

Not that I didn't already know this, but the wiring is about 14 gauge inside a mesh sleeve that's about 1/2" wide and flat.

I've always been curious about the construction

 If anyone is interested in reproduction quality, buy a set and listen. You can always return them.

 The advertising is slick, so once you plug 'em in, you might not be satisfied and opt for a more expensive version.

 I never had them burned in and had them shipped right after they were constructed.

 Maybe if I had, I'd be more impressed. I'm quite sure I don't have enough hrs on them bc I go weeks without listening at times.

 One more thing. I'm deaf in my rt ear and 50% loss in my left with a very limited range of frequency, but I can hear quality.
