Testimonials

"I had Solstice 6 and then ordered Morrow Audio SP1 for all 5 channels. HUGE upgrade. It was so much clearer and more engaging. Much better separation of instruments and voices in movies. They also have a 60 day return policy. Also, the SP1 is so thin it was easily routed to the rear speakers." Audiogon, Joeyboynj

"I don''t know what kind of ju-ju you''re playing with, but that''s some good ju-ju. The cables are still settling in (after your burn-in service), but there''s already a noticeable lifting of the sound, as if filtered and purified. Great detail and great warmth, all at the same time. Honestly didn''t believe that cables could make such a fantastic impact... until now." Justin R

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 SP1 consist of multiple runs of solid core, small gauge, silver coated copper wire which is then silver soldered to the termination of choice. This wire has been chosen for the excellent balance of sound that it provides. The SP1 has an attractive appearance and possess excellent RFI and noise rejection. The cable is very flexable and easily managed.

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. Runs of wire within the cable structure SP1 12 runs of wire SP2 16 runs of wire SP3 24 runs of wire SP4 Reference 48 runs of wire SP5 Grand Reference 72 runs of wire SP6 Grand Reference 96 runs of wire SP7 Grand Reference 120 runs of wire   The SP2 through SP7 speaker cables contain two different gauges of wire to better carry the high and low frequencies. The SP5 through SP7 also include our optional free break-in service. The reference and 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.

 

Cables are offered in standard and bi-wired versions. Cables are the same price up to 2 meters. Other lengths are selectable in the shopping cart.

For the standard as well as the biwired version, the legs of the cable are split 6 inches down from the main body to allow ease of connection to amplifier and speakers. Longer end separations, if desired, can be requested in the special notes area of the shopping cart.

The bi-wired version consist of a single pair of terminations on the amplifier end and two pairs of color coded terminations at the speaker end for the highs and lows. Hookup instructions are provided.

Termination options are Spade and Banana. Combination terminations are also available and are selected in the shopping cart. Banana is the recommended choice for the best sound, then spade. Nude termination is not offered on the SP1 due to the delicacy of the wires.

Terminations offered, including our "Nude" termination.
Opening across the inside of the spade is 5/16 of an inch.
