Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs.

Just got a notice in my Email about this. Seems like the new design went into production in June. It does have me scratching my head a bit. I’m wondering if any Morrow Audio cable users (old or new design) have comments. The link will take you to the announcement that provides details on the new cable design including instructions for determining whether someone has received old or new design cables.

Unless Morrow Audio can make me a great deal on trades ( I have a number of their cables ), I'm out ! Enjoy ! MrD.

I will ask this question. When did Mike Morrow start this " redesign " ? His website indicates the newly designed cables were available as of June of this year, so anyone ordering since this time has the new design. How long does a cable manufacturer need to create an almost 180 ( maybe 360 ) degree design change before actual manufacture ? If I bought MA5s in May of 2017 ( which I did ), was he already in the process of the change ? It reminds me of my experience with my purchase of a new Audio Research SP 6 preamp many years ago, when shortly after, a new and improved version came out ( a, b, c). Financially, the offer Morrow is offering to someone like me does not make sense ( yes, " it is not generous, it is actually penalizing " ). All of the buyers ( of the original designs ) that made Morrow Audio successful should feel the way I do, but, to each his own. I wish Morrow Audio continued success, but as I said above, I am out. Enjoy ! MrD.

@david_ten +1, Well said. @twoleftears Yes, duped, as was in my example of my Audio Research SP6 purchase. Enjoy ! MrD.

@grsz06, I, too, am a fan boy of Morrow Audio cables. Morrow is offering EVERYONE 60 % off to try their new cables. As an existing owner ( since their beginning, actually ), how does this make me " special " ? It doesn't.  How does this make my existing cables worth a good amount in resale ? It doesn't. To each his own bud. Enjoy ! MrD.

Get over yourselves......16 months ago I paid $360. for my MA5s with Eichmans ( about 40 % off ). I trade them in and buy the new ones, at 60 % off ( $240 ). I have now invested $600., which is full retail. Not interested ! Move on. I am a big boy and will do as I please. Talking about lunacy, comparing this to a car purchase or a motorcycle purchase is complete lunacy. Thank you, Enjoy ! MrD.
