How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups?

I just spent 20 minutes creating a post to answer questions @Roxy & Buellrider posed and it was deleted before posting.

 I'll try again when I have more time.

 

So...

@ Roxy and @ buellrider.

 

 I first bought a pair of MA1 IC's a few yrs ago.

I bought another  pr which eventually  used for trade-up to MA2.

These were used with my Nak TA-3 until I decided I missed having tubes.

Then I need another pr so bought another MA2 which I now don't use bc I have MA3 x2 for my Jolida to Sony DVP cx995 and a Cambridge Audio Dac Magic 100 which I switch to Topping E30 on occasion.

My Topping D3 is connected with Neutrik cables to my Yaqin MC 84 and some Amazon cables from the DVP.

 There's not a lot of difference between the quality of sound from either my Vandersteen with Canare spkr bi-wire or B&W spkrs with MA SP4 when I switch back and forth between amps and vise versa.

( I will say the SP4 sound better than the SP3 I traded up.)

They sound best together because what one pr lacks, the other somewhat compensates.

The spkrs are all essentially rubbish anyway. I picked up the B&W DM 630 for $60, and the Vandy's for $300 a few yrs back.

 Not damaged, but not great. 

 As I was typing my reply this AM, the sun shone through the MA3's.

Not that I didn't already know this, but the wiring is about 14 gauge inside a mesh sleeve that's about 1/2" wide and flat.

I've always been curious about the construction

 If anyone is interested in reproduction quality, buy a set and listen. You can always return them.

 The advertising is slick, so once you plug 'em in, you might not be satisfied and opt for a more expensive version.

 I never had them burned in and had them shipped right after they were constructed.

 Maybe if I had, I'd be more impressed. I'm quite sure I don't have enough hrs on them bc I go weeks without listening at times.

 One more thing. I'm deaf in my rt ear and 50% loss in my left with a very limited range of frequency, but I can hear quality. 

 

 

 

 

Cfarrow, you completely missed the thrust of my question.

 Are the trade-ins resold to cover the large discounts?

Or maybe you were referring to others who are bagging on Morrow?

Good responses.

So back to my question.

Who thinks Morrow is re-selling the trade-ups as new?

Where is that? The page I found said it moved, but no link.

@ Audioman

 

Wouldn't the wiring coming into the house be a factor? You're stuck with that.

Seems buying a line conditioner would be better and the specialized outlets wouldn't be necessary.

 $99 a pop for an outlet isn't cheap,

 

Seems those receptacles are a lot less expensive than your first pricing.

$27 is manageable, but still exorbitant.

I bought a power cord for the Jolida from Amazon a few weeks ago.

The stock one wasn't nearly as robust and this one has a 15A current draw, if necessary.

 I might give the receptacle a try. Couldn't be worse.

I already run a Tripp-Lite Isobar surge suppresser with filter.

 

Regardless, I'll give MA the benefit of the doubt. I just wish I'd spent less, but it's so easy to get caught up in the hype.

Same thing happened to me with car-modding 15 yrs ago.

@ wolf-grarcia

 

My Sp4 has 384 runs, 2 braided bundles approx 10 gauge for each terminal.

 Individually insulated solid core runs must be nearly microscopically tiny to fit.

Diam of a human hair? Likely.
