Amp Internal Wire


Hi Gents, has anyone have any experience with upgrading amp or preamp internal signal wire? Most older equipment seems to have thin maybe sometimes poor internal wiring. In the world of OFC/OCC/Sterling and even more exotic wire available these days, any experiments done using this internally on components swapping out the cheap?

Lots of discussion about doing this with speakers, but never with components I've seen. For instance, I am thinking about replacing copper 'appliance' wire in an old Bryston with 14awg sterling from the board to the speaker binding post board.

 

Any thoughts?

If you can't tell me the Q and self resonance of those fancy foil inductors then you are buying them for looks.  Educate me on why a foil inductor is better.  There was no need to illustrate my point, but thank you for doing it. There are a lot of things that matter in audio. There are a lot of things that do not. Audiophiles for some reason are far more obsessed with the things that do not matter than the things that do.

 

God, grant me the expertise to recognize the variables that are not sensitive, the acumen to change the ones that are, and the knowledge to know the difference.

Oh, it's you again, with a different name.

20 yrs ago , my friend look at the inside of my Plinius sa 100 amp , he thought replacing the wire or like plate like would help, We both listen on the wire that we choose, we end up using Audioquest solid core, result is more balance tone.Listening after is the ultimate test.

I used Cardas chassis wire and their solder , also their speaker binding post and RCA connectors .   9.5 awg from board to speaker posts !  and 20 awg from rca connectors to board .  Cardas is harder to work with than most because you have to use a solder pot .  

Neotech stranded wire would be a great upgrade .
