IC recommendations for McIntosh MC275

Does anyone have any recommendations for good balanced ICs for the McIntosh MC275?

My system consists of the PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport connected by HDMI to the Perfect Wave DAC/digital preamp connected directly to the McIntosh. (This means I only need one pair of 1.5 meter balanced ICs.) My speakers are Sehring 703s.

I like this setup enormously using fairly cheap ICs, but I think I can improve upon soundstage and bass response with better ICs. My budget is flexible, but I would have a really hard time spending more than $1K on a pair of ICs given the cost of the other components in the system.

Cables I am considering are Gabriel Golds (either Revelation or Rapture) or Cardas Golden Reference, preferably used. But I am open to suggestions.

I agree completely with Gmahler2u... give Morrow a try...particularly his MA4 and SP4 series. Burn them in... considerable time is needed even if you have a "cable cooker"... you need to give them time to settle in. Your patience and perseverence will be rewarded and you will be very surprised at what your amp and sources can do.
