Does anyone know of anyone/place that can reterminate cables

If $1600 is just too much, try contacting XLO. They do well with some reterminations, and at least you will get 90% of the improvement you might get from Nordost at 10% of the cost. XLO did a really nice job on a custom ordered Neutrik/speakon cable for my REL sub. I did this through Robert Stein at the Cable Company (Fatwyre@Fatwyre.com).

Nordost indicated to me that they are the only ones who can terminate their cable and have the final cables be up Nordost specifications.

Anyway, I would not consider splicing a cable less than 1M. Cables less than 1M are very difficult to sell if you ever were to sell it.

Peace.

FYI on Nordost: SPM, Quattro and Valhalla are $100 per end; Blue Heaven & Red Dawn $60 per end; the others are $40 per end. They do RCA, XLR, BNC, and 5pin Din (more $). For speaker cable; SPM and Valhalla $40; others $25. They did some Quattro and SPM interconnects for me (back when it was cheaper). Can't tell they were changed; they are as good as OEM.

I agree with asking your local dealer. Mine has ordered upgraded spades or RCAs for me and soldered and wrapped everything very professionally, usually for free, but sometimes, I guess if I haven't bought anything from him in a while (becoming a more frequent phenomenon since I started cruising this site on a daily basis), he'll charge me for his time and the cost of the spades or whatever. it's always very reasonable, though, like $100 to reterminate a set of Transparent speaker cables with new larger heavy duty spades. And that included the cost of the 8 new spades from Transparent.
Also, jeff Delman at Value Audio (www.value-audio.com) custom builds DH Labs cables very meticulously and professionally and may be able to reterminate other kinds of cables for you at reasonable cost. I don't think you have to go to Nordost at $200 per end to get a quality job.

I'm sure the competition would love to reterminate them for less money.

That's $1600 well spent if your happy in the end:~)

Ask your local hi fi dealer. Mine has made many repairs right on site for me. They have also reterminated some cables for me while I waited.

Yes, Nordost is $100 per end, even RCAs. So your job will will cost you $1600.

I have inquired about this with Nordost.

They told me it would cost $100 PER SINGLE TERMINATION (this was dor XLR input though).

They also said that they were the only one who could do it to their standards.

Peace.
