Why don't upgrade the wires and components inside our units?

I upgraded my interior wiring and speaker post on my vintage Klipsch Cornwalls, made a HUGE difference, bigger sound difference than anything else I did to  them...

Wires, unless they are corroded or burnt, do not get 'old' and do not need replacement.

Semiconductors do not need changing unless burnt.

Resistors are about the same.  Leave them alone unless burnt.

About the only thing worth changing are the capacitors, especially electrolytics.

If you have them, another type of component also worth changing are relays and mechanical switches.  Their contacts do oxidize and changing them may be a good idea.

If you have surface mount components, this whole thing becomes a difficult task.

I started with my Cornwall’s, LaScala’s ll & now ready to do my Chorus ll. All with 18g & 16g OCC silver on top & 12g OCC Copper on the bottoms. I tried both ways & seem to like my current way. Really made a substantial difference.😃

Warranty and resell issues prevent some. Murphy prevents me as him and I are firm friends. 

jpwarren - Very good, got a chuckle thanks.
