Wow!

I like that idea.

I and others were just trying to educate you a little about wires and connectors, but if you believe you hear it then that’s all that matters to you, so keep on keeping on. I do recommend you watch some YouTube videos on how to properly crimp connectors onto wires, especially since you’re giving advice about them and posting photos.

Thank you. I am a winner! I agree with you about that. My key words were ( ), I change my wires and connectors to better ones too, but don’t find or believe the high sonic improvements come from that that some declare do, because there’s only so much that can do, unless you replaced old (bad) wires, connectors, or their connections are (bad) in anyway, (loose), or (corroded) (causing problems). Meaning having a (defect), not just from old age, because copper wire and connectors are good for many years, especially protected inside a La Scala dog house. Just because they’re old doesn’t mean they’re bad. Klipsch has always used adequate size wire and connectors. Simply putting on bigger wire and connectors on speakers doesn’t cause you to get an improvement if they were already adequate and not (defective). Klipsch uses bigger and better wire and connectors now because the market does and it’s expected and if it causes improvements I doubt differences can be heard by ears, even yours.

Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed looking at them.

Like this? What’s wrong with my comments? They’re not inappropriate. This is a Klipsch speaker discussion forum where we post and discuss post including our opinions. It’s not a comment forum where post are only meant to be read.

No one bashed anyone on this thread for decisions to use certain wires, cables, or connectors. We doubted the declared amount of sonic improvements from the new wires and connectors changes. I change my wires and connectors to better ones too, but don’t find or believe the high sonic improvements come from that that some declare do, because there’s only so much that can do, unless you replaced old bad wires, connectors, or their connections are bad in anyway, loose, or corroded causing problems. If you come on a discussion forum making claims, there may be some who doubt them and that’s okay and the one making the claims needs to be okay with that too, or can post more proof of their claims. Mr. Paul W. Klipsch had a big yellow button for others claims he doubted and I’d guess willing to discuss them and his own claims.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and you posting your results. A lot of us have done what you have. I know you got differences and improvements of what you’ve done, but I posts about your heightened wires and connectors claims, because this is a forum to discuss and sometimes disagreeing can be part of that, so you need to be ready to affirm and debate your claims and accept others opinions and findings that may not coincide with yours. It’s good you’re upgrading, enjoying doing them, and hearing improvements. It’s all good. Keep on keeping on.

You’re wrong. I’ve done it and most likely others have too, but I didn’t get the results you claim. And Crankysoldermeister is a qualified audio person who has enough experience to know what he post.

To me Paul McGowan speaks lots of words in his videos, but says little and very basic which some I disagree with. In this video he says, “Have I done experiments to see if it really makes a difference, no I haven’t...” and “Maybe it doesn’t make a difference, but it offends me...” So this is not a good video to state your claims.

That’s good. I’ve not seen it done like that. I crimp, then solder them too.

When I was a young man over forty years ago I heard Klipschorns in an audio store when a salesman dropped a needle on a Heart album and it sounded like they were in the room playing. I was amazed and still remember it like it happened yesterday. Klipsch is an experience you’ll never forget. Experiencing Klipsch will enlighten you. Hearing a Klipsch will change you forever.

It looks like he’s not using a crimping tool.

They look great!

Wow! Phenomenal job!

I agree.

I don’t know about VMPS speakers. Did a quick Internet search, they look impressive. Lots of models. I’d like to own a pair.

Those are beautiful. Congratulations. Enjoy.

Welcome to the forum. I wouldn’t try to repair it, could make it worse, besides it’s so small it shouldn’t have any negative effects on sound or tear latter, but I’m no expert.

Wow! You did a great job! Congratulations. Enjoy. I recently did a restoration on my Klipschorns that included putting Crites CT120 and A/4500 in them and really like them.

They look great and must sound amazing!

I hope it’s not Chief bonehead, or we might be in trouble and no Jubilees for us.

That one guy is wrong.

Wow! You’re right, he definitely has some nice interesting old audio components. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations! A great accomplishment! Stay the course.
