Internal Amp Wire: Can it be improved?

In our experience some of the early Monster wire corroded internally and over time caused problems (on the clear sleeved wire types this is easily seen as a "greenish" fungus). If you can, seek the advice of your local audio repair specialist and get them to check the wiring. If it is OK and you are happy with the sound of the amps as they are now, then leave well alone. You could spend a lot of money having the wire changed and not be impressed with the change. On the other hand if the wire is showing signs of internal corrosion you would be well advised to replace if possible. Hope this helps? Richard, www.vantageaudio.com

Richard, thanks for the info, as luck would have it, the MOnster in there now has coloured jackets and I cant see the wiring. The type of wire is the Monster "Powerline??" wire which from memory wasnt the best wire that was made. I was thinking or wodering what would happen with some good Cardas stuff.

Are you "handy" with a soldering iron....?? If you are proficient in electronics and feel capable and confident doing an upgrade yourself then I reckon you would notice an improvement with the Cardas wire. If you require any further info, etc give me an email. Good luck! Richard, www.vantageaudio.com

If I were you I'd contact Krell directly and get their opinion. They'll probably say don't do it, but be persistent and they'll give you some pointers/suggestions. I actually question whether the work is worth the potential sound quality improvement, but it you like soldering, who am I to say anything.

When you speak with someone at Krell, make sure it's a tech support person, rather than one in sales. Also if you rewire with Cardas, expect significant breakin time. You might also want to consider Kimber silver wire.
