Morrow Audio Cables

Hi,

I just purchased some cables from Morrow and wanted to post my opinion. Up until now I've switched in and out of speaker cables (nothing expensive, 200-400 dollars) and would hear a difference, but not so much better or worse - just different.

I was pretty skeptical but wanted to make sure I was getting the most out of my systems, so I gave them a shot.

My main system is an Anthem 225i, Musical Fidelity A5.5 CD player, and Usher CP 6311 speakers. I bought Ma4 interconnects and Sp4 speaker cables. The cables made my system come alive. Before now I was missing a fair amount of midrange apparently. Highs are beautiful but not harsh, lows seem rock solid. Before now I felt I was compromising with cables, music seemed clear but thin, or rich but a little veiled. Hope that makes sense. I'm not the scientific type, so I'm unsure if the interconnects or speaker cables made the difference. But I know this, I'm not screwing with it to find out.

I also bought 5 Ma1 interconnects to place between my adcom prepro and 5 channel Adcom amp. My Monitor Audio speakers sound awesome. I've never had as much seperation in my setup, especially in my rear channels. Being 53, I have been struggling with dialog from my center- now that I have switched to the Morrow, clarity is awesome and no issues with dialog.

The guys at Morrow were nice and did what they said. Morrow has a pretty good return policy, and are easy to work with. Hope this helps someone looking for cables. (I have no affiliation with Morrow, FYI.)

In my case it was a great investment.

I have two MA3 interconnect and found them detailed, transparent and vivid, the only thing I wish for is may be more full bodied and tonal saturation.

Apparently Morrow cables used the same conductor but just more of it as you move up the product lines, therefore my conjecture is you do get more of everything with higher models but the same house sound remains. The diminishing return on investment as you progress may well be evident.

Morrow do have a trade up program. Hopefully someone who actually took advantage of it and moved up to higher models could share his experience.

I have ma6 ic's and his sp7 spker wire my system consists of the fabulous tube modded modwright sony 5400 sacd/cdp wyred4sound pre and their st1000 amp (570/1140) with magnepan 20.7 spkers I needed wires that would do justice to this type of quality I am completely satisfied with the sound I feel all the characteristics of the modw sony cdp heavenly vocals detail clarity etc etc are being passed to my w4s electronics and his sp7's are fully capable of delivering that kind of juice to my maggies all the beautiful sound of my components are coming thru the way they were intended I feel that is the function of these wires and that is what I'm hearing

I just broke in a pair of Morrow MA1 and installed them in my 2 channel system with Paradigm Sig S6 and Parasound A21. Even those entry level cables from Morrow improved the detail.

Mind you, that was between the source, Oppo 95 and pre. Between pre and amp I've got a pair of MA3, so maybe part of the improvement was unleashing the MA3's. Either way, I'm now convinced Morrow cables are the real deal. So I ordered another pair of the MA3, this time with Eichmann silver bullet RCA's, and Morrow's break in service. Typical copper stranded copper may not need the same break in, but the sound benefits are really worth the effort.

I concur Runnin! I had the SP3 biwires as my first taste of Morrow's cables and later tried the MA1 and then the MA2, I then bit the bullet and tried the MA3 xlr's from my pre to my A21 and the rest is history! I did last year upgrade my Oppo95 to the 105 and added a pair of MA4 xlr's, the results are incredible. I must note that my Halo has an SilverStar fuse and I use PS Audio AC12 up top on the power conditioner and an AC10 on the Halo. When curious do try Mikes powercables a MAP 2 on my Marantz 8801 indeed has the shares the same character as the rest of his line up!

Nice set up, you've really looked after all of the details there! I'm hoping to run a couple of dedicated lines to my system next year, 2 15 amp breakers should do it, and see about a whole house surge suppression system, but the PS Audio unit would do that and more, I'm guessing.
