Marshall 1960a Cab & loss of Gain

[Scumback Speakers]

I do have that shity thin wire. I will rewire it and check phase then maybe I can remove my CL post trying to sell it.

I know you really know your stuff so thanks for the tips!

I've seen all kinds of wire hooked up to those stereo plates, sir. 22 gauge, 20, 18, it's pretty much a crapshoot. The 425a cab I recently rewired had what looked like 18-20 gauge. Problem is that you actually have to examine the wire (usually by cutting it) to see if it's got a thick insulation jacket or thin. So it varies quite a bit.

The other problem is the plate itself being flimsy and with PCB mounted jacks, and solder bath leads to the wires...barf...it's just a recipe for disaster.

I have both the 1960A and B cabs... I was previously always struggling with an "emptyness" to the overall sound of both cabs... then I swapped some 75's for V30's in X-pattern for both cabs and it got much more brighter and "in your face" than ever before... I'm still waiting for them to break in so I can get a better feel for the overall sound... sometimes it sounds great, and sometimes it sounds like too much high end buzz... but still much better than just the 75's by themselves.

Any suggestions on what brand or where to get a set of replacement wiring for a Marshall 1960 cab?

Those 16/8/4 jacks always come Parallel-Series, fyi...which is teh FAIL in my book.

What wiring would you recommend for that setup?
