McIntosh MR71 Cable Binding Advice

Thanks for the response Audiofeil.

I realize that this may be the case and was looking for a more specific recommendation from those who have experience with this tuner.

Thanks Bob...that's a good idea. My interconnects are really not fire hoses but Cardas Cross that are under 1/2" thick. The plugs are pretty serious and dangerous for those jacks however.

I have a lot of space behind my cabinet but I have to pull my components a little forward to reach behind and disconnect/connect the cables. The cabinet is backed into a corner of my room. I think it was the pulling motion when trying to disconnect the plug that caused the crack.

One of my thoughts was to upgrade the jacks so cables are no longer the issue, and was wondering if anyone has done this with success.

I have not checked out cables in a long time and the high-end audio dealers have dried up in my town. Perhaps, someone has experience with a lightweight cable/plug with excellent sound quality for my purposes.

Thanks Frepec, was the new jack the same as the old or did you upgrade to something new?
