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?

I agree with those who are saying enough is enough. On my speaker designs, I use a better quality wire inside of them than most Major manufacturers do, but that is even overkill. A couple of years back Belden did a study and claimed that their CAT5  wire was quite sufficient for Audiophile grade connections up to 10 feet. and you are concerned over 4 inches or less?!?!

Now I might not agree with Belden, but that is what you will find inside speakers for less than $5000 in many cases. ANy High-End Company worth its salt has done its homework and knows that we are talking about things here that are so far beyond being measurable it is ridiculous.
