Why don't upgrade the wires and components inside our units?


I notice that everyone talks about upgrading their power cords, interconnect cables and even power fuses but nobody looks at upgrading the internal items. 

There is much more to be gained there.

There are people that do upgrade their internal components, but not every piece of gear has point to point wiring that could be upgraded.  It's a lot easier to play with interconnects, power cords, and speakers cables than it is to get into the internals of a component.

Black Ice has options for upgrading the internal wiring in some of their products.

I was able to upgrade the op amps in my DAC because they were plug-and-play.

@vanson1 seek out the more DIY audio forums on the web… there are a few…

put the gear you seek to modify along with “ modify” in your search engine….

its sort of like here, favorite fuses are replaced with favorite capacitor, etc… waxing hyperbolic… some deserved, some creating tanking circuits…. but hey, it’s the Web…

My tech suggested upgrading the wiring on my 15 year old preamp (2nd owner). I was only expecting cap replacement.

I sent him my Audio Note DAC and asked him to upgrade it to current model spec. He added Tantalum resistors, Kaisei and Rubycon caps to the existing Black Gates and AN oil filled Mylar coupling caps.
