Morrow Audio Cables: Speaker & Interconnects

The liquidation continues. Here I have some very nice cables in like new condition. I bought them all new within the last year, and they look it. Morrow's cables offer a huge bang for the buck. They would be a great next step for someone looking to take a leap up from Signal without breaking the bank. Basically, Morrow's philosophy is to use a high quantity of small gauge, solid core, individually silver coated, individually insulated copper wires. As you move up the Morrow food chain, you get a higher quantity of this same wire built into a single run.

Compared to Signal Cables, the Morrow Reference line is clean, open, detailed, and tactile... without being harsh at all. They have a silky transparency in the high frequencies that is very nice. If you need to warm up your speakers, you're better off with the Signals; if you want to open them up and extract every last bit of detail, you're better off with the Morrows.
Morrow offers used cables on his own website at a 30% reduction, so I will try to beat his used prices.

I have a pair of SP3s... How much of an improvement is there with the SP4s?

I noticed an improvement right away when I moved from the 3's to the 4's. The 4's have double the quantity of runs of solid-core wire as the 3's do. (48 vs. 24).2-Channel: PC > Schiit Eitr > Audio Research DAC-8 > Audio Research LS-26 > Pass Labs X-250.5 > Magnepan 3.7's
