Testimonials

My rig is exploding with sound!
"I'm sure you have heard all of what I'm about to say but I'll say it anyway----HOW DO YOU GET SO MUCH MUSIC FROM SUCH A THIN PIECE OF WIRE? My rig is exploding with sound I never knew it was capable of!

Tonight I went through my various cd's mostly jazz and then cued up Herbie Hancocks possibilities. I sat listening while thumbing through a Jazztimes mag and had to put it down. This disc was always good but with your MA 1 it was transformed. Herbie in all his glory. Well done Mr. Morrow---you are what this hobby of ours should always be about---bringing out the best for the enjoyment of music. Regards, Bret"

What Cables Should I Upgrade First?

We recommend starting with the source components, working your way to the speakers. After that, start upgrading the power cords. As a detailed example, start first by replacing a source cable, like from a CD player to preamplifier. Next replace the cables from the preamp to power amp. Idealy, if finaces allow, replace these two together to have our cables in your system from source to power amplifier. Next, replace the speaker cables, then start upgrading the power cords, starting again with the source components. Replacing your cables in this order will realize the greatest sonic improvements and enjoyment as you complete each step.

The Equipment We Use To Evaluate Our Cables:

Designing and building cables is a tricky business, requiring just the right balance of gauge, wire type and dielectric. It would be foolish to test our designs on a mediocre system. At Morrow Audio, we have only the best in our listening/ testing room, insuring that whatever system our cables go into, that they should provide great satisfaction and musicality!

Product Full Description

The MA1 consist of a twisted pair of solid core, small gauge wire which is then silver soldered to the termination of choice. The MA1 has an attractive appearance and possess excellent RFI and noise rejection.

What Are the Differences Between Models? The basic differences between models are the number of wires within the cable structure. As you move up the line, the greater number of wires allow a likewise greater amount of subtleties and details to come through. The soundstage and separation of instruments within that stage also increase. The MA5 - MA7 includes our free optional 2 day break-in service. 5 day extended breakin service is available for an additional fee. Chart below reflects non-balanced cables. Balanced cables have an additional run of wires in the cable structure, hence the price difference. Runs of wire within the cable structure MA1 2 runs of wire MA1.1 4 runs of wire MA2 6 runs of wire MA3 12 runs of wire MA4 Reference 24 runs of wire MA5 Grand Reference 36 runs of wire MA6 Grand Reference 48 runs of wire MA7 Grand Reference 72 runs of wire   The Reference & Grand Reference series require a tremendous amount of labor to build. Despite this we have continued to keep the cost down as far as possible, offering great value as well as an unforgettable musical experience.
