Torn between two IC's... Please help...


I'm torn between Goertz Silver Sapphire and Morrow MA-4's... Currently I have Goertz copper mircopurls going from my Bifrost dac to my NAD 326bee... My plan is to move the copper microlpurls in the place of the pre-amp jumpers and buy a new set of ic's to go from the Bifrost to the NAD... I only need a 1/2 meter for the run... I wish I knew how the MA-4's compared to the Silver Sapphire Goertz... Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,
Leo

Ok, day 3 with my Morrow MA-4's... I have noticed that they make my speakers disapear a little bit more than my Goertz Micropurls, which is good for me... The other thing that I have noticed is that I have to crank my treble and bass with these cables, which is bad for me... Just an observance and I am gonna give them a full burn in because I bought them as used and have no idea how long or how much use the previous owner has sent through these cables... I'm hoping that they will brighten up and the bass will be allowed to follow through because I do like how they make my speakers disapear a little more than my Goertz...
I have owned the Micro Purl and upgraded to the Sapphire. Much, much better. I have a deep, wide, wall to wall soundstage. Also have the silver speaker cables. Warm, detailed, relaxed sound. Not at all thin contrary to some reports. In my system I have also used Kimber 8TC, Silnote Morpheus II, Cardas, and a few others. Goertz can be fabulous in the right system such as with my Cary V12, 300SEI, Audible Illusions 3a or or Cary SLP 98. I have also used the Goertz to good effect with Primaluna Diologue One, Jolida, Almarro 205. My speakers have been Tekton Lore and 4.5 models, Infinity Preludes, Vandersteen 2Ce recently.
Thanks for the input Mikirob... I have had the Sapphire's several years ago and I do miss having them... I may be ordering them if the Morrows don't pull through for me... But I do want to give the Morrows a fair shot... The way that I got into Goertz several years ago is that there used to be a high end shop near me that had let me take home several pairs of cables to audition... That's not so much the case nowadays... But Goertz has servedme well in the past and I really can't afford to keep buying cables like I just did with the Morrows... It was all the testimonials that I read that got me to order them and take the chance... I do like the soundstage better but the severe lack of the bass and treble is driving me nuts... I'm hoping it will change... But I don't think it is looking too promising...
Quit second guessing yourself. You said you would wait so do it!

I have MA4~1mtr and 2mtr along with SP4 2.5mtr.
I switched from all Acoustic Zen Hologram II spkr and Matrix Ref. It will take a good 250+ hours on repeat play with FM static or full range music to get through the rough spots in break in. They may change from day to day or week to week, every system is different and so is your electricity delivery. You may notice differences at various times of day as well.

I predict that the treble, bass, dynamics, sound-stage, air, nuance will come around before you find another pair to demo, unless you are just interested in seeing what's available.

Patience is a virtue.
Hey Tom6897... I did say that I would wait and I am gonna do it... Does my post say anything different than that? No, I was posting what I have noticed about the cables and also having conversation about the Goertz cables... I have also stated in the past that even at 2 to 3 months I have noticed changes with my other cables and that I'm a firm believer in cable burn in... And yes, I know that patience is a virtue... I was just stating what I've noticed with the cables...
