I received my new set of Morrow Audio MA6 I/C yesterday......I have a lot of experience with Morrow cables and I know the breakin steps, these cables take between 80-150 hours to come into full bloom.
I traded in a set of MA3 for these MA6, these will go from my Phonomena II to the NAD amp, replacing the MA3. I have a set of PH6 Grand Reference Phono cables so the match should be really good.
I connected the MA6 to my NAD CDP, just to get a quick listen....OMG immediately I heard a huge step up in everything. Especially the lowend, became big deep and with power. The mid range was very pronounced and natural, the highs were much clearer and a nice crisp. I really enjoyed what I was hearing.....I then put in the MA3 and I could for sure hear a difference.
Then I put the MA6 between my GF TubeDAC11 and the NAD, played some digital files and again...WOW a huge improvement in SQ.
Finally I put the MA6 in their final home, Phonomena II ---> NAD amp, tonight will spin some vinyl.
I know the next 20 hours will sound great, then 20 to about 60 hours MA cables tend to sound bad...After 60 hours they return to full bloom and settle in to their wonderful sound, sometimes its close to 100 hours. Since these are very heavy, beefy cables I am planning on 100 hours.
What this has done is made me want to replace a couple MA1.1 for at least MA3 or if I can MA4 cables.
In a few months I hope to have another update on the MA6 Grand Reference.
Cheers and happy listening!
