Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs.


Just got a notice in my Email about this. Seems like the new design went into production in June. It does have me scratching my head a bit. I’m wondering if any Morrow Audio cable users (old or new design) have comments. The link will take you to the announcement that provides details on the new cable design including instructions for determining whether someone has received old or new design cables.

There's a lot of marketing BS here. 
Mr. Morrow is a businessman first and foremost. 
"SSI Technology" is a misnomer. There is little or nothing in the way of NEW technology here. 
True craftsmen of fine audio cable manufacture their own wire or at least have theirs manufactured custom for them from the finest sources. Stranding and dielectric and termination procedures are critical. Mr. Morrow never talks about his termination methods. Are they simply hand soldered? With what? The finest wire and stranding and dielectric in the universe won't deliver the goods without the finest in termination technology. Cardas with super-high pressure crimping is one of those truly effective termination techniques. 
At the end of the day Morrow makes high value cables at the lower end of his product spectrum but his pursuit of ultra high priced cabling is laughable. Caveat emptor. 
The US Navy uses Teflon silver coated copper so it probably can’t be too bad. I’ve used it. It sounds good.

Right? Especially with all the Krell and B&W Nautilus speakers they have running around those aircraft carriers and F-15s. 

Come on! :) Suitability for the Navy doesn't make them necessarily suitable for audio. But I have to admit, those cables are pretty sexy when you can find them on e-bay. 
US Navy communications/electronics requirements in some cases are far more stringent than audiophile requirements in terms on noise and distortion, i.e., signal to noise plus distortion ratio.
