Bought AC for speakers and Morrow MA1 interconnects. Installed the ICs first. Breakin has been hairy as sound has been all over the place from initially sounding good to becoming brittle and biting then smoothing out some. Have to wait to see how it goes. Just put the ACs in this weekend and it was a huge improvement. I got them off the"gon and the terminations did not fit my ATI amp so I subbed in my old SAE which is still pretty good sounding. Improvement was so significant my wife questioned why I hadnt just bought "new wire" instead of the amp and preamp. For kicks I put in the old SAE pre instead of the Cj and it got even better? Still sounds warm but is more detailed. Very interesting changes. Not sure where its going but I am thinking I need to either get correctly terminated ACs so I can put the new amp back or maybe try some Morrow speaker cables and see how that sounds.
AntiCables v. Morrow?
Looking to buy 1st cable upgrade from #10 wire. For Ohm Walsh 100-S3s and Spendor S3/5s running off ATI 1502 Power amp with CJ PV 6 tube preamp and Cambridge 740C. Listen to lots of jazz, female vocals, blues, acoustic music. I found the preamp softened and warmed up my sound taking off what I thought was some edge but as an older amp some detail too. Trying to decide on what kinds of speaker cable to move towards. Cant afford to go truly esoteric...$200 -300 max. Can people give me a sense of the relative benefis or tradeoffs between the two companies and the types of cable they sell?
