As I already posted the article above "While all metal wires degrade over time, silver’s high rate of degradation compared to its cost makes it a poor wiring option in many scenarios." Yes, overall, silver is the best known conductor today. Except superconductors with zero losses. Good luck getting those in your speaker cables. |

Don't think I would be mentioning any of this to McIntosh or their authorized repair center. If you ever do suffer a serious warranty problem and they find that you've been into the amp yourself you have likely voided the warranty. Will guess the OM states that there are no end-user serviceable parts inside, yada, yada, yada................

The star ground could also be the power supply current return path since the transformers in the power supply provide electrical isolation from the mains.

Great - is the star ground tied to neutral? or the power supply return?

The star ground is tied to neutral.. a pretty simple chassis ground. I would imagine models made for sale in the EU or Asia might use a different ground.
