McIntosh MR71 Cable Binding Advice

I love this tuner but it lacks the jacks to handle today's heavy cables. I've been using a set of Cardas interconnects and wound up with a cracked solder connection. The Cardas plugs grab the jacks with a death grip and then there's the cable weight.

Has anyone modified the RCA jacks or can anyone recommend a suitable cable?

I have 2 Mac tuners and there is no reason to use "today's heavy cables".

There are dozens of good choices, all of which don't look like fire hoses.

I own the 71 and 77.

Don't overthink this issue.

There are plenty of interconnects that will do the job; in general, cables are more alike than different.
