I am using Gabriel Gold Revelation MK2 ICs and Gabriel Gold Extreme speaker cable with my McIntosh MC275 and am quite very happy. My speakers have a tendency to sound a bit bright and the Mac with NOS Telefunkens can be a bit too etched at higher frequencies. The Gabriel Golds seem to be the best cable I have tried with great frequency extension and dynamics but no upper mid-range harshness. That said, I have not tried the really, really high-end brands and have avoided MIT because I cannot fathom spending more on IC's than I spent on my amp...
Cables for McIntosh Equipment
I know that there is over 3000 post on cables but can not find what I am looking for.
I would like to hear from McIntosh users (no offence others)
Looking for your expertise on cables that have performed well with in your system- interconnects, digital, power cords, etc.
My current set up is:
1. McIntosh MC 207 power (AU 24 XLRs for main channels and RCA remaining)
2. McIntosh MX 119 pre amp
3. McIntosh MVP 851 (for DVD video only) with Stereovox digital and Monster Component Video Cables
4. Esoteric DV 50S for all two channel CD, SACD and DVD-A using Au 24 XLR’s
All power cords are Shunyata Python VX and one Taipan VX on a Hydra 2
Two dedicate and isolated grounded 20 amp outlets and a a 15 amp that is not isolated
Also any recommendations would love to hear also.
Thanks
JC
