For Mcintosh system
I did not want to spend money on cables. So I used what I had.
Only IC and SC were new because I didn’t have any spare left.
I use Transparent Super G5 RCA for both from tuner to pre and pre to power as Mac is not truly balanced design so using RCA saved a lot, if you know that Transparent XLR cost twice as much. For SC I chose Siltech 680P due to attractive introduction price. PC were all existing cords. Purist Neptune for C2200, Transparent PLMM2x for MR87. The reason that I did not use new Siltech Classic Legend as a complete loom was that due to nature of FM reception, silver cables will expose too much of that imperfect FM reception. I tried and chose not too. Copper cables like Purist and Transparent made the right result for me, I did not hear the bad thing out of FM as much as running full loom of silver based Siltech.
For MC2102 due to unusual IEC orientation, I had to DIY with Furutech special IEC connector plus Acrolink raw PC. See picture of MC2102 with Acrolink PC9900! That look unacceptable to me, hence the DIY cord using special connector.IMG_1200.jpgIMG_1209.jpg
