Internal Amp Wire: Can it be improved?


I just picked up a pair of Krell KMA 100's which are of a late 80's early 90's vintage. Being a tube fan, im quite impressed of the Krells on certain types of music. My question is, that the amp is wired internally with Monster wire. Has anyone ever rewired the internals of the amp, or have an opinion on if I would see an improvement if I did the Krells. (any suggestions on type or Brand of wiring would be appreciated) thx

In our experience some of the early Monster wire corroded internally and over time caused problems (on the clear sleeved wire types this is easily seen as a "greenish" fungus). If you can, seek the advice of your local audio repair specialist and get them to check the wiring. If it is OK and you are happy with the sound of the amps as they are now, then leave well alone. You could spend a lot of money having the wire changed and not be impressed with the change. On the other hand if the wire is showing signs of internal corrosion you would be well advised to replace if possible. Hope this helps? Richard, www.vantageaudio.com
Are you "handy" with a soldering iron....?? If you are proficient in electronics and feel capable and confident doing an upgrade yourself then I reckon you would notice an improvement with the Cardas wire. If you require any further info, etc give me an email. Good luck! Richard, www.vantageaudio.com
