Morrow SP7 Upgrade.

I've had solid core AQ cables both balanced and RCA in my rig for a while, and after buying a new amp without XLR inputs I needed a decent RCA cable…saw the Morrow ad and bought their "el cheapo" MA1 IC . When I asked when they were shipping the thing I got an email noting they're hand made (I hadn't read all the stuff on their site…SORRY!) and take a while…cables arrived with the 4 page break-in papers which I thought were pretty funny, kind of "out there", and 100% correct. A truly great sounding cable and it got me thinking about the trade up thing, although the 400 hour wait for cable nirvana tests my patience. 

Don't get too excited…they won't reach their potential until late July.

I laughed at myself while breaking in these cables but figured, hey, I gotta see if this stuff is as advertised…I actually had white noise from a rarely used tuner running through them all night for a week or so, and then just ran my rig as usual when I was home…turned off the tube amp and let the tuner noise run while out (all the while wondering if signal really does travel through a cable driven by a preamp toward an amp that is off). Then you listen for whatever the instructions predict will happen assuming you have a grip on how much time has passed...In any case, worth the wait for an amazingly inexpensive (seriously…50 bucks) cable that seems to sound fabulous. 

Geoffkait…your incessant and weirdly snarky little comments simply make you seem like a weirdo who can't resist stalking me with inane, unfunny posts…do you need more friends? Are you simply lonely and sad? Need a hug? Not sure exactly why you feel compelled to continue this pointless endeavor, but know that it only serves to render your already sketchy position as a pseudo expert even more suspect. 

I've had excellent results from my now broken-in (around 37,000 hours) Morrow cables (got one free in a promotion…another MA1…their email promotions are endless and effective). The most recent is an MA1.1 balanced cable running from my DAC to my preamp, and maybe it sounds better than the AQ it replaced, but that's hard to tell (good balanced cables in actually balanced gear often defy one's ability to hear differences), but suffice to say my system's overall sound has improved by exactly 7.2% (or 8.7% if good weed is utilized…hey…it's legal here). Worth it.
