Cable for Mcintosh MA8950 and Monitor Audio PL200 II

👍 

@audphile1 thanks, will keep it in mind and keep trying

Power conditioner sucked the life out of the music in my system.
My recommendation would be to plug both the source and amp into outlet with best power cord feeding the amp. Give it a few hours. If you really need power conditioner try passive one like shunyata. I think you’re in a good spot with speaker cables. But if you decide to step up, either Frey 2 or Audience AU24SX will give you better imaging and fuller sound, more meat on the bone. For deeper soundstage your only solution is room treatment. First reflection points on side walls improve the stage tremendously. 

@audphile1 no worry. I keep trying plug my amp into the condioner and directly onto the wall. Directly in the wall will bring back the dynamic but flattened the soundstage, especially in the depth. Don't know the reason. 

The wire is directly from the power box, nothing else except my audio equip plugged in.

My bad. I stand corrected.  

@ricred1 wow, didnot expect you will leave your comment. Read a lot of your good views on PL series, and  know that you are a huge monitor audio fan. I fall in love with the PL200, PL300 2rd generation since they first came out in the audio show. Toxied by my friend who brought a pair PL500 and finally got my pl200II in March. Very happy with it.

I asking for opinion here and will check out the local dealer to see which I can borrow to audition in home. The only setup I trusted is the one in my house and my ear.

Thanks for your input

@jeffreyw thanks, have read a lot good reviews while doing my homework

Will keep my eyes on it

@audphile1 correction, it's a power conditioner, not even a power regenerator. have no issue, actually like the heimdall2 speaker cables a lot. Got itfrom a good deal. Also auditioned the frey and tyr, although they are sharing the same characteristic, each cable is a step up and getting more balanced. Ask for speaker cable to see if there is some magical combination. Thanks for your suggestion.

First of all, just run your amp directly from wall outlet. Don’t use that regenerator.
Is there anything you don’t like about Nordost Heimdall 2 speaker cables? May be go up to frey 2 sp cables? Audience AU24SX are excellent speaker cables as well. Also highly recommend Audience Studio One or au24se power cord. 

I suggest getting a home audition of Clarity Audio Vortex power cords. It isn't as pretty as the AQ Hurricane, but I think it sounds great.

For a PC, Audioquest Hurricane. I have two powering my McIntosh MC 611s. They sound fabulous. If you hit the lottery, then buy a Dragon, which is significantly better!
