What interconnects work well with Mcintosh Gear?
As a long time Mcintosh owner I have tried a few from Monster, to Audio Magic to Harmonic Tech to Tara labs and finally Cardas. I would say the Tara Labs were very good.I am selling some see my ad. But for the ultimate the Golden Reference Cardas ...

Plasma issues, is it worth it?
Thanks for the input. I am using a PS Audio Ultimate outlet for the time being. It sounds like the Plasma issues are common or at least in part. I have a 30 day return policy but really have to look at the LCD again.

McIntosh Clarification
As mentioned all current Mono or Stereo McIntosh amps use Autoformers, they don't put them in the multichannel amps for obvious reasons. I own the F32's and drive mine with a MC352 and have more than enough power. You could look at a MC252 but it ...
