    im looking for a little bit of knowledge/guidance on the IPL.
    When I built them I used a cut-off of chord odyssey I had spare for the internal wiring, and as a result bought some chord epic to link to them from the amp. having gone back to my naim NACA5 cable yesterday I found I preferred the sound of the naim cable.
    As the naim is copper, should I change the internal wiring of the speakers also to something similar? Having also read discussions about the internal components generally using copper would this be a better option.
    I have many spare bits of cable I could use, the original HUL from IPL, chord odyssey, van damme, linn k600, fisual hollywood

    thanks

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I used silver cables in mine (from the days when it wasnt an absurd price) and I am not inclined to change it. The ribbon tweeters seems to like it.
    Thinking about upgrading the crossover though.......

    Changing to more expensive capacitors and inductors-Clarity caps for example.
    Not sure atm because I am really happy with the sound quality and I did ask Ivan about it. He said not to bother. Need to think about it a bit more.

    I have no knowledge with upgrading crossovers so would stick with Ivan's advice, but if you do it please share your findings.
    im interested by your croft series 7, as I like tube amps but with kids around difficult to have, but the 7 is enclosed and hybrid so very interesting with good reputation.
