Morrow IC's


I just noted that Morrow has a Christmas and New Year's sale right now.  35% off.  I am looking at buying a pair of IC's from them since they have a good Money Back Guarantee and trial period.  No lose situation.

I can't find many reviews from people that have used the Morrow MA 1.1 or MA 2 IC's.  

Anyone have any experience with either of these cables?  Both are in my price range with the discount.

IMHO, and only mho, Mike Morrow is a salesman first and foremost, a business manager second, and he is not one iota of an innovator. The thing that really angers me is his thrusting his 60 day satisfaction guarantee and his "you gotta break these in for 400 hours and start all over again if you disconnect them" BS in people's faces simultaneously. The average buyer is never going to get 400 hours on the cables within 60 days and he is banking (literally) on this. If you buy Morrow, don't listen to the burn-in BS and be sure to send the cables back within 50 days because he counts days and hours and seconds to the nth degree. I know this first-hand. Secondly, his cables are not even all that great. The sound is just "there" without any sense of organic coherence. I will be putting 5 of his cables up at fire-sale pricing quite soon. I'm going to warn my buyers-in my ad-just what I have stated above-that they might like them but that imho they are "meh". 
His biggest effort at pure unabashed P.T. Barnum-huxterism is to think that advertising a $10,000 speaker cable will imbue his product with the image of being a true worthy competitor to the established big boys on the block. Go to this forum's sale page for speaker cable and he has not one, not two, not three, but four paid advertisements for the same $10,000 farce that surely no one-no one-has paid even $4,000 for and never would. Nobody seems to call him on it even though I have no doubt most of us think it. Pure unmitigated gall and posturing akin to advertising a Chrysler Cordoba using Ricardo Montalban to talk about rich Corinthian leather; in other words, pure horseshit and painting lipstick on a three legged sow. If I didn't have better things to do, I would challenge him to produce one sales receipt, name of the sucker redacted, to prove that he has sold even a single one of his $10,000 speaker cables for a penny more than 40% of his artificially inflated huxter-prices. If I sound self-loathing, trust me, I am. I fell for his crap for a short time in a desperate attempt to achieve cable-nirvana at common-man prices. I F'd up, I trusted him. My 1L Commercial Instruments professor, the much loved Prof Charles Whaley, taught us bright eyed naive students, "Gall is All". He was right. 
To the OP. for all I know you are a shill for Morrow with an intent to throw out the subject of Morrow as further marketing for Morrow. I commented as to the quality. Meh. The MA-6 phono cable version does a good job but in my system, the MA-6 as an IC between my preamp and amp was wholly unsatisfactory and as you can guess from my rant, 64 days after purchase Mr. Morrow told me he no longer cared a wit whether I was satisfied or not, the $600 I had spent was my problem, not his.
