Cable recs for McIntosh/Vandersteen system

Thanks, Michaela; thanks Bigjoe ... I appreciate the advice.

Hi JM,

I've tried a few cables in my MAC system. I've tried Kimber, Stealh, Nordost, Discovery, and a few others, but I've had the best results so far with Cardas Golden Reference. If I remember correctly Ron-C of MAC was/is a fan of Tributaries and Bigjoe certainyl knows MAC gear, so I would suggest taking advantage of this great community and try a few different cables. Since you're buying used to begin with, you won't lose much, if at all, on the resale if you don't like them.

you made excellent choices in gear,before you leap into big$$$ cables try some off the shelf accoustic research cables & standard 12 or 10 gauge speaker wire.

you have a preamp with tone controls that will be able to replicate any tone's that come from different types of cables.

im very happy with my home made (10 gauge) speaker wire & tributaries interconnects from my mcintosh gear.
