Replacing internal wiring.

I have replaced the internal wires (Monster) of my Snell
J/4's speakers with Kimber 4TC (using only three strands-approximately 15-16ga.) and the resulting sound was much better to my ears. I used KimberKable 4 TC from my int. amp
to my speakers. It is amazing how so many variables affect
sound quality! In my experience, bare wire connections pro-
vide the best sound. Be sure to document all work just in case...and allow time to settle in.

Sol322, i have a pretty good idea of how to solder and would venture to say that i've performed well in excess of 100,000 solder joints in the last few years. Even with all of the past experience that i have and trying to "clean and prep" the surface, i could not get silver bearing solder to bond some joints on two mating surfaces. I even went so far as to grind the surface clean and "rough it up" so that the solder could fill in the crevices, applied rosin, used a small propane torch to pre-heat the surface, etc... with no luck. I also watched as two others that are skilled electronics professionals tried to make the same connection with no luck. Maybe it was funky solder, i don't know. Either way, all three of us gave up.

Sean obviously you are very experienced soldering. My comment was aimed to the broad base of readers that read the forums for them not to get the idea of just put together heat and presto you got it, skill, practice and knowledge are required all of which you have
Cheers

I have found by using the same cable design inside my system components as well as the cables that feed them has made my system effortless and of one signature.No more hodge podge.All the same.The new copper based solder I ran across seems to have helped as well. No lead.-- Tom

Tom, what brand of solder is that ? I know that Cardas has a copper element to it, but it is surely not a high enough level to call it copper based. Care to share your "secret" with us ? Sean
