IC recommendations for McIntosh MC275
I have all McIntosh in my system and have used the Cardas GR with great success. I later upgraded my loudspeakers and McIntosh amps and found Cardas much too warm. I changed over to the new Kimber Select line and could`nt be happier. That being sa... 
Cardas Twinlink Interconnect
I`ve used Cardas for years including the TwinLink. Cardas cables are very well made. They take a long time to burn in but they are warm and muscial. Very easy to listen to and once in the system do not like to be moved. As always try in your syste...

Kimber Select KS 1036 is awesome. The new KS series are more full bodied and dynamic. The KS 1026 and 1126 gets close to the performance of the 1036/1136 at a lower cost. 
power cable factory versus brand name gauges

McIntosh Revel & JL
Do the dedicated circuits first. Use your stock cords on your McIntosh equipment, amp. preamp, and the mighty 500, all stock. Plug your sources in the line conditioner MCP1500 ;) including the pre. Keep your Kimber Kable as is. 
Marshall Tucker Band-Anyone else get them?
