CARDAS CCGR-S BINDING POSTS FOR MAGGIE 1,7i


I want to replace the original MAGNEPAN binding posts with the Cardas CCGR-S in my MAGGIE 1,7i.

Is there any modification needed? I do not want to intervene into original binding post plate. Does anyone have any experience with this?

One only need move one wire, to bypass both the fuse holder and tweeter attenuator posts. They are in a series circuit. Find the wire that connects the two. Remove the wire, at the opposite end of the fuse holder from that, and connect it to the opposite end of the attenuator posts.                                                                                                                            ie: wire -------1(fuse block)2---wire----3(attenuator posts)4----wire (remove wire from connection 1 and move it to connection 4)
Like Rodman, says the fuse holder and other unnecessary parts are in series. The wires are not soldered onto the speaker cable terminals, they are soldered onto "O" rings that slip onto the back of the terminals. When you removed those terminals, just don't put the O rings onto the Cardas posts. No cutting of any wires is required. Very simple and easy, even I could do it!
this post make me wonder when audiogon will get w modern world and facilitate photos in posts..... argh

i use the  Cardas binding posts in many projects, fantastic!,,,

reviving this old gem of a post

thinking about doing this minor surgery to my maggies

maybe i will use my 1.7i set as guinea pigs before doing it efficiently and confidently on my 3.7i’s

now that we can post pics and links, can any of the commenters on this older thread chime in?  ... or links to other sites showing this minor mod using quality cardas binding posts would be most helpful

many thanks
