Not to “fan the fires” of the Magic Cable debate, but…
Has anyone noticed that McIntosh uses just plain old wire within their products? No grain-oriented, silver-coated or otherwise “magic” wire? There is probably a greater length of plain wire within one autoformer than would be used between any two components. And, a chain is no stronger than its weakest link.
I’m happy with plain cables (with good connectors).
