If Nordost won't shorten & terminate it's own speaker cables who can please? Thank you!

I wouldn't have anyone but Nordost alter their cable.

If you can, up your game and get Heimdall. That's where it starts with their specific engineering. It's more of the "middle of the line" for all the Norodost traits. I started off with Blue Heaven and eventually went all Heimdall from the wall to speakers. Worth the expense if your ears agree with the Nordost way. Otherwise, you probably can find another brand for less, with similar traits.

Thank you both very much.

Funny, I’m currently auditioning a Heimdall main power cord for my system. A very clear improvement to my system’s sound. Impressive in fact. Your suggestion was already on my mind and makes going all Heimdall more tempting. Thank you.
