Power Cables


Is it necessary to use the same brand and model of power cables for the amp and pre-amp? Any thoughts about mixing and matching? I know it all comes down to how they sound, but would love to hear your inputs or tips to guide me in the selection.

“It would be silly to pack an 18 gauge power cable with a McIntosh, so they get a cable that at least "looks the part" and maintain their credibility”

My McIntosh MC2200 (200 wpc into 8, 4, and 2 ohms) has a stock and captive two prong power cord that is just about as “heavy” as the cord on the lamp sitting on my end table. Go figure.

Re. Sagging capacitors...
But if one is "listening" with the level control at Ten, there will be no headroom remaining for the drummer to deliver the ’Coup de grâce’ to your eardrums. ;-)

are you using Pangea through out your system? Keep me posted on this development.

Happy Listening!

Elizabeth,
Just curious what cable & connectors you put together that didn't work out for you.
