Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect

I’m looking for a quality interconnect to couple  my Oppo 105D player with my vintage CJ P11 preamplifier. I’m looking to spend in the low hundreds of dollars.

I'm also a big fan of the Morrow MA3 interconnects.  I use MA3's with the optional Eichman terminations between my Chord Hugo and VAC preamp.  I have found nothing better in that application. 

I am also trying a pair of XLR MA3 between pre and power amps.  In this application the MA3 is less spectacular sonically than my more expensive cables but somehow makes the music more engaging.  They are a 1 meter pair and barely reach so today I ordered some MA4 in 1.5 meter XLR configured. 

The Morrow cables give me the perception of excellent phase relationships and timing whereby different parts of a musical selection are cohesive as a whole.  They are more 3D in presentation than any of my other cables.

Morrow cables are a bargain.

BTW  I agree with the long burn in time.  I ordered the MA4 with burn in but that is just a start in the process.

It’s good to hear so many positive responses to the Morrow cables.
Sounds like I’ll have to spend a lot of time burning them in.

You could make a very nice set w/Neotech wire or you could order some Furutech ADL Alpha Line-1 for  $81 1m pr. Wonderful sounding cables.

I have an Oppo bdp105d and use Morrow MA6 with Eichmans. I found them used on Agon for about $500. They replaced my MA3s and showed a great improvement. Fantastic cables for the price new and a steal used if you can find them. 
The MA3s are still good, but the 6s are a big step up!

I am presently using a ballanced pair of .5 meter MG Audio Design nteronnects between my OPPO 205 and Rega Orisis integrated amplifer.  They run for $900 a pair.  I learned about them from Arnie Nudell mentioning them and have later learned thar Paul McGowan of PS Audio prefers them.  Suppoidly the Colorado Audio Society compared them to top of the line Nordhost and preferred the MG Audo Design. I know that even the lowest priced MG Audio Design interconnects, which go for $700 a one meter pair are superior to my pair of Audience 24AU SE interconnects, and their $1100 inbetween interconnects are easily best buys.  Again, being able to ue a half meter pair of the top of the line MG Audio Design interconnects makes an incredible improvment for the money.  And for the money, nothing else comes even close.
