Verastarr---Magnepan Upgrade

@lak 

gotcha on turning the amp off when removing speaker cables.     

do you see any issue with leaving a solid state amp on all the time ?     

I leave my SS amp (Plinius SA Reference) on 24/7 (unless I'm on vacation) and have had no issues.

Time to revive an old thread....

I just installed this Verastarr Maggie Upgrade on my 1.7i....
At first listen, I thought "bright".... then I continued. I soon realized that what I heard was not brightness but upper frequencies that I previously hadn't heard with the Maggies. Then a voice appeared dead center , as usual, but this time more center... if that's possible. And, solid , defined... I had to open my eyes to see if Amber was actually sitting between my speakers... spooky. So then I listened to 2 Cellos... one of my favorites...  I could hear the movement of the strings, a new sense of air around each instrument... this is awesome.
If you have Maggies and haven't upgraded the fuse and jumper.... do it... now.
Thank me later..

I just installed the Verastarr upgrades in my Magnepan 3.7i speakers and I'm happy to say the sound has improved.  Not by very much, but it is another layer of detail that I'm hearing.  Mike is super knowledgeable and  pleasure to work with.  

I had already moved my crossovers off the panels on to wooden stand I made with a vibration pads that the crossovers sit on the floor right behind the speakers.I was already using another companies Magnepan kit but for me I want the best sound that I can afford while sitting in the sweet spot so I gave Verastarr kit a try after talking to Mike [nice guy] and it did take the sound to another level and a big leap from stock setup.My 20.1's were about 8 years old and way out of warranty so I decided to bypass the fuse panel altogether and from the crossover to the speaker there was cable coming from the fuse panel for me to use Transparent Audio banana plugs right into the crossovers and the mid-range really opened up.Verastarr Maggy upgrade is well worth it and it's a simple upgrade to install.I ran that setup for a couple of years no amp or speaker problems at all.
