morrow ma1 interconnect


This is a review of this low budget interconnect. The Morrow MA1 is one of the worst peace of junk i ever heard! Sorry to say it but it’s the truth. And, all that about the burn in process is nonesense. I believe in burn-in, but these cables don’t. I sit down to listen to them after 120 hours and they sounded terribly thin, lightweight and bright. These cables do not have any body at all in the vocals and no weight in the low frequencies. Even the highs sounded very thin. They did not change much after 600 hours!!!! All that compared to my budget interconnect king Atlas Equator MKII. I returned them for a full refund. Very annoying sound and a big disappointment.

If you don't believe in system synergy, then you must not have heard a component before that sounded crappy in one system and fantastic in another.  
If your system sounds bright you may also check for your speakers being wired out of phase. Maybe the MA-1's simply don't work for you but a friend of mine used them with good quality gear and his system sounded great. If something else works better then simply move on, I see no reason to beat up on Morrow. 
Yes, there is a reason. Morrow is extremely hyped. They say that their products sound so much better than much higher priced cables from top brands!!! Well, they don’t. My system does not sound bright at all. It sounds close to neutral and i can easily hear what kind of sound each cable has! Also, as far as synergy, i think that synergy is important in the amp-speaker combination. How and if the amplifier can drive efficiently the speakers. There, yes, synergy might be very important, especially with tube amps......! By the way, Atlas has a moto that i discovered lately. They say that their cables sound great in every system. Nordost and Morrow might sound good only in tube amps and tube cd players, or like i said earlier,in a system that has some serious problems.
winoguy17. Every cable that i have tried,  i gave them to my brother to try them in his system. He has a totally different system than mine. The results were exactly the same. How is that for an answer? Each cable has its own sound. The sound of the cable will not change in a different system. So, Morrow and Nordost will sound bright and thin everywhere, compared to a cable that has not their problems and sounds well balanced tonally.
How is this for an answer... a $32 cable didn’t work to your liking,so according to you all cables by 2 different manufacturers will sound thin and bright everywhere because you and your brother say so. Looking forward to more of your excellent in depth analysis....
