What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?

Double run of speaker cables?
I experimented using 2 of the same cable to double up for a while and have now switched to a heavier 10 guage ofc copper cable with similar jumpers.  I think the 10 gauge sounds better, time will tell.

McIntosh mc275
I've owned a pair of MC75 mono amps for 50 years, they are vintage from the 60's and have been my only amps.  They still sound great!

Good Pre-Amps For McIntosh
If you don't want a Mac preamp I can suggest two that work well with my MC75 mono's.   I have just purchased a PrimaLuna EVO 100 Tube Preamplifier, it's really brought my system to life.  Also I've had experience with Quicksilver audio line preamp...
