The Sound

The sound is balanced and focused; soundstage is deep and expansive with pin point images floating three dimensionally in the acoustic space. You will hear the things in your recordings that were once masked and clouded over when using other conventional and sometimes expensive cable designs; soundstage cues, harmonic overtones, etc. You will find your music more involving and engaging, drawing you into the performance.

Product Description

The PH3 is made from 3 runs of a solid core, small gauge wire which is 100% shielded with a foil shield. Each run is seperate from the other and is individually shielded. This is then silver soldered to gold plated RCA's. The wire is covered in an attractive nylon mesh. As with all series 2 and 3 cables, the reverse side of the label is hand singed by Mike Morrow in silver ink. Capacitance: .54 nF/mtr. Inductance: .010 mH/mtr.

Cables are the same price up to 1/2 meter, other length and termination options are selectable in the shopping cart.

Custom lengths can be made to meet your requirements. There is a "special notes" area in the shopping cart for this purpose. Single runs can be ordered by contacting us.

The PH2 comes with high quality RCA's that should please the most discriminating listener. For those who desire the absolute best, several Eichmann termination upgrades are available. These are selectable through a drop-down box in the shopping cart. The upgrade options include the Eichmann Basis, Eichmann Bullet and the Eichmann Silver Bullet. Each offers a subtle improvement in sound over the other.

Design Theory...Problems With Popular Cable Designs

The Morrow Audio cables differ in 3 major areas from most other popular and often expensive cable designs. As you read about this, you may realize that your cables have problems in these areas. Do not despair, you now qualify for a dramatic improvement in all areas of sound with the Morrow Audio line of cables. After hearing our properly designed cables, many of our customers replaced the ones they had with our complete cable product line.

Are you finished checking the boxes? Let's see the result...

1. Cables That Use Stranded Wire:
In stranded wire designs, the strands touch each other hundreds of times at various points along the length of the wire, causing the signal to jump from strand to strand instead of flowing through a continuum. The result is a diode effect (like little mV Diodes) at each point where the strands come into contact, causing distortion of the signal; blurring imaging, soundstage cues, etc.

Another explanation of the diode effect is oxide forming between the strands which encourage a non-linear conduction. At the points where this occurs, actual RF detection can occur, turning your cable into a radio; receiving, detecting and injection RF signal and distortions into your music signal.

In my experience with stranded cable, where each single conductor is made from several strands, not insulated from each other, there imparts an unpleasant harshness and brightness to the sound.

The Morrow Audio Design:
Morrow Audio signal cables use ONLY solid core wire, NEVER stranded. We eliminate all diode effects by using only solid core wire. You will hear much more information in your music that was lost from the smearing effect that stranded wire produces.

Some of our models contain multiple runs of wire. They are mono strands, individually insulated from each other. In the case of our MA2 Reference interconnect, these multiple runs yield a more detailed sound. The speaker cables, out of power handling necessity, also contain these multiple runs of wire.

2. Cables That Use Large Gauge Wire:
Different frequencies tend to ride at various depths in the wire structure; the highs, mids and lows tend to separate which cause time and phase errors in the signal. This is commonly known as the "skin effect". When a large gauge wire is used, this problem is even greater, resulting in phase and timing errors. The soundstage is reduced, instrument timbre is distorted. See photo below...

The Morrow Audio Design:
Morrow Audio signal cables ONLY use a small gauge wire. The different frequencies ride at the same plane in the wire, resulting in less phase and timing errors. A more accurate sound is the result. The soundstage is huge, instrument timber is accurate, it seems like the performers are in your room.

3. Cables That Use Thick Cable Jackets Or Heavy Insulators:
Some cable designs use decorative cable jackets or even heavy insulators to insulate and/or make their cable attractive to the eye.

Inside common cable designs are internal conductors with an extruded insulation of some sort. The insulation material is in close and immediate contact with the conductor along its entire length. One of these conductors might be in the form of a wire mesh that surrounds the center conductor, acting as a shield from RFI.

Wrapped around all this is the outer casing of the cable, made out of rubber, PVC, Teflon or some other material. These insulation elements all form the dielectric of the wire, which has a tendency to absorb and release energy to and from the conductors. This occurrence produces a negative sonic affect; smearing of the signal and other distortions. The greater the number of insulating layers there are, the greater this distortion will be. The thickness of these layers is also a factor of concern, with thicker layers being the worst.

Have you ever heard of speaker cable lifts? They are little stands that lift the cables off the floor, improving the sound. The improvement comes by keeping the electrical field from reflecting back into the cable off the floor. Why then do cable manufacturers use thick insulations and other signal distorting elements in their design?

The Morrow Audio Design:
Morrow Audio cables DO NOT use thick jackets or heavy insulators. Each strand of wire incorporates a very thin insulation which are inserted into a thin nylon mesh. This allows the least amount of reflection back into the cable, retaining the quality of the music you love.

With Morrow Audio cables, your music will flow unhindered, resulting in greater realism as well as longer and more enjoyable listening sessions. Those who have have heard our cables describe it as a "Listening Experience".
