Kimber Hero vs Morrow Audio vs ? Analog interconnects

Mike’s a classy dude...well done. I recently ordered 2 pairs of Morrow cables as part of the newly designed cable promotion "trade yer current Morrow cables in" thing...too hard to pass up the discount for those, although I do kind of feel bad about the cables I’m sending back...they have served me well and I only hope they find a new home and aren’t depressed and angry at me. I get 20 days to decide if the new ones are better, although I’ll be breaking them in myself...I assume while breaking in the new ones, the old ones will lose their "broken in" properties causing an endless loop of comparison issues. As Jethro Tull said, "Nothing is easy."

I have directly compared a pair of the Kimber PBJ's and Hero's. The cables are quite different. The PBJ's to my ears were more transparent and had a deeper soundstage. The Hero's were a "better" cable in the sense of detail/low end and had a wider soundstage. I heard more expressive base that sometimes overwhelmed the mids/treble and ended up muddying the waters in my system (kef LS50, red dragon s500, metrum amethyst DAC). That being said, I liked both cables differently but did not want to choose between the better aspects of both cables for an upgrade.

Because of that, I went with morrow's MA-4 interconnect which you can get used or at a serious discount. Never pay retail as Mike often runs sales. I previously had an MA-4 running between my passive volume control and power amp, but wanted to try one between my source and the passive pre. I bought a used cable and to my ears, has the best qualities of both Kimber cables if not surpassing them in more detail and a more balanced sound. I splurged for the silver interconnects and I found that they give my system a faster feel and more sparkly on the top end.

However, I am also interested in Mike's new cable design. I wonder if there have been any tariff impacts on silver prices in his supply chain. I am contemplating purchasing new SP-6's to compare to my old SP-4's and will likely start a thread if I do to help others out.

I completely understand but the post had us in the title. With that, it was appropriate to post some helps for the poster. However, since he has probably read it, I have removed it out of respect for those that voiced concern.

Sorry, I still cringe even if this sort of thing is allowed, and I’m a fan of Morrow cables. I think forums should be for discussion and free from obvious commercial promotion or it could allow the threads to be permeated with the equivalent of junk mail. Manufacturers should of course be welcome if they’re actually discussing something...like Atmasphere for example who hasn’t noted anything like an "Inventory Reduction Sales Promotion" of his amps as fas as I know, and frequently contributes well regarded comments based on his expertise. I’d certainly welcome Mike Morrow discussing his approach to his cable technology. Apparently this site does have a policy of some sort on this as they took down the initial "Emat" promotion thread as it mentioned the price of the item in the initial hard sell posting. Luckily, commercial posts are rare which is why they stand out as "cringe worthy" for at least some of us, and the fact that some disguise crassly hyperbolic sales promotions as selfless "helping others find better sound" or something remains as bait for gullible "seekers"...fanboy swarm indeed.

Mike is a righteous dude!  Good product at a fair price.

There is nothing improper, inappropriate or incorrect about commercial persons or entities posting ,contributing or responding to this site at all you should check Audiogon's terms of service and in fact some of those who you deem inappropriate are better informed, more knowledgeable and less biased than those who have no commercial interest but are motivated to contribute here based on ego, self-importance and posturing.

I like the cables Mike, but I cringe when a commercial entity inappropriately drops in here.

basically I listen to pop/rock music also metal,  so the strong bass would be good (for me)

How about MIT EXPi1 Interconnect cable? how about that one?

I like solid core and have used Audioquest stuff for many years, but recently discovered Morrow and like them a lot. Morrow uses the same internal silver coated solid copper wire in everything and simply adds more or less runs of it relative to cost...I use the less expensive ones, both single ended and balanced, and they're great sounding. Highly recommended.

Keep em unless you want to experience true high end sound.  I would suggest MIT cables.  Once you hear what they can offer, you will never go back to ordinary cables!
