Comparing Audioquest cable to Morrow

Thanks a lot.

But headphones aren't better than big 100lb audiophile grade speakers. More convenient and practical perhaps, but not better.

Thanks for all the input. It is very helpful. Nordost Red Dawn doesn't work in my system so that comparison is specificly useful as well.

I googled Clear Day. In the distant past I never liked silver, but I've heard that the quality of silver cable has generally improved with newer methods of extruding. Actually I think I will try the Clear Day instead of either the Morrow or Audioquest. I have the cryoed Anticable speaker cable and like it but am ready to try an upgrade.

Thanks,

Lynne

My Red Dawn was the original, I'm sure. Yes, very, very bright--horrible. I'm glad to know it is improved and for the upgraded info. Thanks.

Is $500 unrealistic?

BTW, I took the opportunity to ask Mike Morrow if he had tried the copperharmony connectors that williewonka had discussed on this forum some time ago. I think an Eichman brother had started a new company and introduced these connectors. He said he had not tried them and said that his Eichman rep told him they were inferior.

I was not impressed by his response and thought that the caliber of a Steve Nugent of Empirical Audio would have procured a few for evaluation, although I don't know if Steve did that. I would like to know if the copperharmony is going anywhere before I buy my next pair of IC's.

Touche' (Is that how you sspeel it?)

ok. I'd still like to know if the CopperHarmony connectors are significant. If they were, probably would be hearing more about them by now, though.

Thanks, John. Very good to know.

BTW, I did contact Steve Nugent. He says he does not make cable anymore, although FYI, he says he has a new killer digital coax that buries the older one for $250. I don't know which one I have, but the one I have is extremely good and I paid $250 for it.

OK Lance. Thanks. I would message you--careful on the language here since buying on the forums is not cool--but any hint of brightness is a red light for me. My ears are oversensitive; I like things dull. So thanks to you I won't be trying Clear Day and don't want to waste your time.

Concerning the IC's, the issue of silver-plated copper connectors probably isn't an issue, especially if the connectors were Eichmans. I have the MA1, and the RCA jacks are rather clubby but I'm not sure of the materials used.

So it looks like Audioquest unless something else comes along.

This is all valuable info for me here. Thanks.

ok. I like things musical--maybe not as musical as gold though. Interesting but way out of my league.

Audioquest used a quality copper spade back in the day. So does Paul Speltz (anticables).

I've always thought of Cardas as being sludgey and colored--I mean too musical. But the cable company would give me the answer. Maybe I'd love it and then I could drop the Cardas name all over and impress my friends.

I'd be uncomfortable going over $500. I'm talking speaker cable now.
