Speaker Cables

Diamond in the ruff?
Over the many years, gradually upgrading my system, the area of IC's and speaker cables have been the most challenging. I felt my current "garden hose" thick speaker cables, lay an opportunity. Being on a tight budget, I tried Morrow Audio SP3 speaker cables as some have suggested. Morrow Audio has a 60 full return policy. People, even though these are inexpensive cables, they absolutely blew me away in every respect over my esoteric cables.

Has anyone else tried these cables? What was your experience? I think these cables, in this price arena, are without peer.

Rpg, I'm using Morrow ICs -- single ended and balanced -- throughout my system. Phono cables too (his regular ICs, because they're unshielded, hum too much to be used as phono cables). I won't say I'll never replace them, but I'm VERY happy with them. Dave

Lacee, while there is no harm in using different material in the separate legs of the speaker cables, there is no real 'rationale' for doing so, since the current is alternating and not concontinuously 'flowing' in one direction as the terms 'lead' and 'return' imply. The current goes 'back and forth', so it doesn't make any difference what material is used in the separate legs. Which also explains why there is no 'direction' of the signal.

Thanks for the encouragement.
I just bought a pair of Red Dragon amps for my Tannoys and didn't want to do any harm to the amps.
There is an improvement, more fullness to the sound now than when I ran just thin solid silver.
Doubling up on the silver and using it for the neg run and some cheap copper wire really helped things.
I think I would like to try some nice solid core copper for the pos run.
Any suggestions?

Does anyone have experience with the SP2 and SP3 (recent version) and can describe the differences between the audio experience?

I know this is subjective. That's what I'm interested in.

:) listening,
