What Cables Should I Upgrade First?
We recommend starting with the source components, working your way to the speakers. After that, start upgrading the power cords. As a detailed example, start first by replacing a source cable, like from a CD player to preamplifier. Next replace the cables from the preamp to power amp. Idealy, if finaces allow, replace these two together to have our cables in your system from source to power amplifier. Next, replace the speaker cables, then start upgrading the power cords, starting again with the source components. Replacing your cables in this order will realize the greatest sonic improvements and enjoyment as you complete each step.
The Equipment We Use To Evaluate Our Cables:
Designing and building cables is a tricky business, requiring just the right balance of gauge, wire type and dielectric. It would be foolish to test our designs on a mediocre system. At Morrow Audio, we have only the best in our listening/ testing room, insuring that whatever system our cables go into, that they should provide great satisfaction and musicality! You can see our listening room here.

Product Full Description
Our power cables use 12 gauge stranded Silver-coated Copper wire in multiple runs for each leg. All insulation is high grade Teflon, complete with Wattgate or Furutech connectors. Heads above the rest for an affordable price.
The MAP4 Grand Reference is the best power cable that we offer and has more runs of wire than is found in the MAP1, MAP2 and MAP3. It is designed for current hungry power applications like power amplifiers but will also allow amazing detail retrieval when used with the most delicate turntable or CD player.
What Are the Differences?
|
|---|
The MAP4 Grand Reference, with many multiple runs of wire on each leg, allows excellent power transfer and low impedance to the component it is used for. The serious audiophile will enjoy the powerful bass, detail, the huge soundstage, realism and resolution retrieval that the MAP4 offers.
Application Chart... Which Power Cord Should I Use?
As you move up the line, each model provides a greater resolution of
sound, regardless of the product it is supplying power to. However, to
provide ease in application, we provide the recommendations below...
| MAP1 | CD transport, CD or DVD player, tuner, phono related |
|---|---|
| MAP2 | Low power integrated or amp, preamplifier, DAC |
| MAP3 | Medium to high power integrated or amp, subwoofer |
| MAP4 | For the highest resolution, suitable for any application. |
Upgrade Options
The MAP4 is the same price up to 1 meter. Other length and termination options are selectable in the shopping cart through drop down boxes.
The MAP4 Grand Reference comes standard with the Reference Audio Grade 330i and 350i Wattgate connectors. Furutech FI-50M and FI-50 carbon fiber connectors are also available as an upgrade. The Furutech connectors are notably the best in the world.
About the Furutech connectors...
High End Performance Power connector. Type: 2-pole+earth Rating:15A 125V AC. Piezo Ceramic Series Connectors • A Furutech First! Furutech’s Pure Transmission FI-50 Piezo Ceramic series connector bodies and housings feature several breakthrough construction techniques.
A multilayer nonmagnetic stainless steel and carbon fiber shell incorporates a special damping and insulating acetal copolymer. Furutech settled on stainless and carbon fiber for the outer housing after extensive listening sessions with Japanese industry figures and audiophiles. The body of the connectors combines two “active” materials: Nano-sized ceramic particles and powdered carbon. (Only nano-sized ceramic particles effectively couples with carbon powder.) Nylon and fiberglass are incorporated as well forming an extremely effective, well damped, mechanically and electrically nonresonant connector body. That’s correct, they’re electrically damped as well. Piezoelectric effects are the key.
Furutech’s breakthrough in design and materials is based on employing nano-sized polycrystalline ferroelectric ceramic particles exhibiting electro-generative properties; mechanical pressure creates an electrical charge forming a bridge between electrical and mechanical oscillation.
Carbon powder exhibits thermal-conductive characteristics that interact with the charged ferro-ceramic particles converting their energy into heat that’s conducted away and released from the surface of the connector body! These carefully chosen and tested “active” materials mechanically and electrically damp the connector and receptacle as they “interconvert” thermal, mechanical, and electrical energy for the finest Furutech Pure Transmission signal imaginable.
Connectors available for the MAP4, selectable in the shopping cart.
