Cable recs for McIntosh/Vandersteen system

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.

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.

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