Torn between two IC's... Please help...


I'm torn between Goertz Silver Sapphire and Morrow MA-4's... Currently I have Goertz copper mircopurls going from my Bifrost dac to my NAD 326bee... My plan is to move the copper microlpurls in the place of the pre-amp jumpers and buy a new set of ic's to go from the Bifrost to the NAD... I only need a 1/2 meter for the run... I wish I knew how the MA-4's compared to the Silver Sapphire Goertz... Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

I think it was the "but I don`t think it`s looking too promising" that tom is responding to.
Maybe, but I usually have my bass at the 1-2 o'clock position and my treble at the 2 o'clock position... With the Morrows I have them both cranked and the bass and treble are both lacking... I'm not shooting the cables down, but just stating what I have noticed with them and I'm still gonna give them the full break-in with the hopes that they pull through for me as I do like the soundstage better than the Micropurls... For the bass and treble to be off by that much, I think I might have been correct with what I said Charles... Maybe I'm wrong... If thats the case than I do apologize...

If the morrows do pull through for me (and I hope they do) I will end up ordering a 9' pair of the Morrow SP-4's as well...

I feel your pain. I am currently auditioning a new piece of equipment (only 30 day trial) and all this critical listening can tend to take the fun out of listening after a while. I am now playing very familiar music and listening critically for a good hour or so, than I just leave the music playing for a few more hours while I just enjoy it while tacking on break-in time. I also have Morrow spkr. cable and IC pre to amp., and lack of bass or treble is not an issue at all. Good luck.
Nearly everyone I've known, including me, thought the Ic's better than the SC's.
