What Interconnects Work Well With McIntosh?

I am currently moving up from from Adcom separates to
McIntosh separates. I have a C712 Preamp and a MR 73 tuner;
and hope to have a MC7200 amp to replace my Adcom GFA 555
Mk.II by next month. My speakers are Thiel 3.5s and I am
currently using Transparent MusicWave speaker wires.
I've recently installed a Transparent MusicWave cables
between my CD and Preamp - and like the improved detail a
lot. But all the rest of my cables are a mix of XLO ER-5s
and MIT Terminator 4s - which sound bright and a little
thin.
Has anyone with McIntosh gear had good results with
Transparent or other brands? I would like to keep the cost
per pair under $125.00 if possible. Any thoughts from McIntosh owners would be appreciated.

Hi,
I'm a Mc lover myself, using their MC2500 power, C36 pre, XR16 speakers and their MQ107 Custom Enviromental Equaliser!
I've tried many cables but not the Analysis or Alpha Core! The ones that I found to play well with Mc gear was the StraightWire Maestros & Siltech!
Apart from this, the one I've been using is called Audioplan ( IC's & speaker cable ) from Germany ( www.audioplan.de ) with very good results! At present, the Mc agent here uses a brand called Stradius from the U.S. and this brand is also recommended by Mcintosh themselves!
Soon, I hope to try another cable brand called Clou Cable from Sweden ( www.cloucable.se )!
Feel free to email me anytime!
Enjoy!
