Morrow IC's - Medium Jim 19:31:00 02/07/12 (8)
The Morrow Interconnects arrived yesterday and after 5 hours of listening to them I can honestly say they're real good. It is like the old BASF commerical, we don't make the music, we just make it better.

The biggest improvement was in the highs as they are more pinpoint and have an added element of sweetness. The bass is a bit less pronouced, but it feels right and is very fast and tight. The center is also a bit nicer and airy. I don't mean the midrange, I mean the center where the vocals and such lives...

If Dawnrazor is correct, in that they're from Magnet Wire, I'm a convert.

  Under the category of stupid. I had them running in the wrong direction and even with that, they were superior to the DIY pure silver IC's they replaced.
  
  Tonight with them in the correct path direction I listened to AJA, by Steely Dan, and Hot Rats, by Frank Zappa. These are two CD's that I'm very familiar with. Steely Dan was one of the best recorded bands in the 70's and this was very evident today. I wasn't hearing anything new, but in a better way. Same goes for Frank Zappa, i.e., well recorded and mastered.
  
  Before, I noted that the bass was a bit shy, it is all there and very fast, taught and with ample weight. The highs are still sweet and with a nice roundness. What really came to life was the mids which are more dynamic and with increased depth. Much more pleasing and transparent. Everything just seems nicer with them.
  
  Mike Morrow is a true gentleman who took the time to personally answer all of my questions, no matter how inane they were. This was on a purchase of a pair of highly discounted cables no less. I would recommend his Interconnects without hesitation.

    His ICs are not magwire but what seems to be multiple runs of wrap wire (probably 30 gauge) His Ma1 appear to be a version of the Jon Risch DIY cable - made from one run per channel.

      Interesting, in any event, I really like them and at this moment, see no need to opt for more expensive IC's. I will have to check out the Jon Risch DIY's.
      
      Thanks,
      Jim

        Okay, I googled Jon Risch DIY and see that he says to use Belden wire that has been prepped. The only way to know exactly what Mike Morrow is doing would be to dissect his cable.
        
        Again, the MA1 sounds good in my system and is very dynamic and transparent.

        I was not talking about that Belden cable project but his 1" ribbon of 2 wires on a strip of tape, unless I am confusing him with someone else.

        Didn't see that one, I can tell you, it isn't wire on tape though and it is more than one run, it is two runs of wire. I haven't bought in to the notion that more wraps of wire for IC's is necessary or will sound any better. I'm probably wrong and in due time will upgrade and see, but right now, I'm liking what the entry level MA-1's are giving me.

        More runs let you pass more deep bass, since you use a sub it is not important that you get minor attenuation of lower bass dynamics since you would just notch up your sub slightly.
        
        I have never seen a Morrow cable opened up so I can't say with certainty.

        I did notice them to be a bit bass light at first, but that was when I had them running from the amps to the pre. I do like the dynamics and the subtitles that they flesh out.
