Magnepan Owners


Hi - Have any of you ever changed out the standard nickel Midrange or Tweeter jumpers on your Maggie’s with something else. Or have you replaced or bypassed the tweeter/midrange fuses? The reason I’m asking is that I read a review on Absolute Sound where the reviewer did, well at least the jumpers. After looking on the internet I came across a site called Verastarr and they offer a Magnepan kit which includes jumpers and a fuse replacement. The jumpers are Cryo treated 10AWG Silver plated copper in PTFE dielectric. The fuse is replaced with a polished 99.7 pure solid silver hollow tube. I understand the warranty risk with the fuse but wanted to see if anyone has ever tried the above. Supposedly this tweak takes the Maggie’s to another level of performance. I purchased the kit on Audiogon but will most likely just use the jumpers. Please let me know if you have any experience with either.

Cheers

Thank you both, as I stated I will explore the jumpers but I’m not willing to risk my 20.7’s by taking out the fuses.

@kalali - I’m going to give the jumpers a try. Guys please go to www.verastarr.com and click on the Magnepan upgrade link and tell me what you think.

No I just stumbled across a review and heard replacing the jumpers would yield a better sound

Are you going to replace the fuses with their silver hollow fuse replacement?

Cheers

@lrsky 

you get the jumpers and the fuse replacements. I'm a little nervous about using the fuse replacement

Mike I received the upgrade today and wow I’m truly amazed how they really opened up my Maggie’s. I’m definitely will be sharing this with all my Maggie owners.

Just did the complete upgrade Mike. I will report back later but must say initial response is positive.

cheers 
@mikepowellaudio -

I’m totally satisfied and elated with the openness and spacious results I got from the upgrade kit. Crystal clear highs, all the nasally sound is definitely gone. Thanks a lot and forever a fan and customer. I did the complete upgrade/ removed fuses.

Cheers
Trust me folks it’s an easy upgrade if your not comfortable with removing the back panel that works. I really love how open my Maggie’s are now.

Cheers
