How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups?
@mpathic8  Click on products menu then clearance menu .  It doesn’t appear  they get many trade ups with the number of listings they have posted.  Who knows? https://www.morrowaudio.com/pages/cable-clearance  
How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups?
 No way they sell trade ups as new.  They have a used site and seem like an up and up retailer with the inflated MSRP game. Downside selling used as new is too high risk for their business…  
Combination BLU-Ray / DVD Player
Blu-Ray and DVD days are numbered especially when Netflix ends their service in a few months.  I only rent and have no interest in buying or a library   I am planning on removing my Yamaha 1060, rip/sell my few  concert dics and go all streaming o... 
Any (new) Tube Testers that can be recommended?
Yep I looked into them and was definitely priced out since my use would be minimal.  I’m not a seller.  Bought a used Hickok 600a museum piece (older than me) that was in excellent condition (calibrated in 2022) for $200. It will not properly matc...

I have owned several sets of ma3 and a dig2 and bought them on a BF Sale at 55% off and felt they sounded very good until I purchased the Aliexpress Chinese Nordost cables. Immediately sold the Morrows on ebay as they were nowhere near as revealin... 
Puron Plug-In AC Power Conditioner; Impressions 😁
🤣 5 , 10, can we hear 15?   Great to hear the big boys really getting behind Puron.  I have 2 each on my HT system and 2 channel systems and love the sound and picture quality improvements. Not subtle at all.  And Mark is such a great guy to discu... 
Cable elevators
Yep made some from scrap maple for a fun experiment.  Used them to lift and separate my speaker’s built in sub power cords and speaker cables off the wood floor.  After several hours of comparison listening I have to say the experiment was a succe...

Lab12 Integre 4 MKII - user review
👍👍 well done!  Thanks for sharing.  
Fritz Speakers
Best speaker value that I can imagine!  Super Quality drivers, well matched crossovers and beautiful classic wood cabinets.  I feel like a criminal for stealing my Rev 5 SE’s on the used market for $1200 shipped to my door.  Best purchase decision... 
High Fidelity Cables?
No issues here and his products have made a significant improvement!  
New video review of Fritz Carbon 7 SE Mk. II "Punches above its weight"
Thanks for sharing the Fritz video.  Such a great person to talk to and these speakers continually amaze me.  I have the runt of the family in the Rev 5 SE’s.  Couldn’t be happier and these special speakers. They do it all and I can’t get over the... 
Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
Agree the Odin 2 and gold cables are an exceptional value.  Would like to add the flat Audiocrast (identical to the Valhalla ones) speaker cables are as well.  Better than the Odin 2 silver in my systems.  These cables are the best cables I have h...
