McIntosh MR71 Cable Binding Advice

I have 2 Mac tuners and there is no reason to use "today's heavy cables".

There are dozens of good choices, all of which don't look like fire hoses.

Thanks for the response Audiofeil.

I realize that this may be the case and was looking for a more specific recommendation from those who have experience with this tuner.

I own the 71 and 77.

Don't overthink this issue.

There are plenty of interconnects that will do the job; in general, cables are more alike than different.

Kan: fabricate simple support blocks out of a stiff foam metarial such as used in shipping boxes. Cut to size and place the blocks underneath the cable connector such that it rests on the equipment shelf and supports the cable vertically. Takes the strain off of the jacks. You'll need to resolder the crack inside the tuner pc board or have that done by a tech if you're not adept; however it sounds like you're able to handle that yourself.
