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?

My guess is those internal amp wires are too short to make a difference and you might do more harm than good removing them and (poor) hand soldering new ones.

But if you like to go for it ... don’t forget the wires inside your speakers. Depending upon their size there may be more length there and you may be amazed, after you just got your $5000 speaker cables, what standard wires inside the cabinets you have attached them to.
