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 replace the AC power wiring use a larger gauge .

Also you have 2@  5 x 20 fuses in your IEC connector that are probably glass ,

you should replace them also with ceramics , Bussmann or Littelfuse .

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 .

Nice Work

Great pictures , one suggestion replace the glass fuses with ceramic ones .
