Modifying the cable could compromise the resale value. I would suggest reaching out to the manufacturer and inquire as to whether they would provide this service for you.
Two Cables From One?
So I can only find Shunyata v14 in a 6 ft lengths. I’m guessing they do that to simplify and reduce cost. Anyways, I don’t need anything longer than 3ft and find it less than ideal to have to deal with extra length especially in thicker cables. I really like power cables to be close to the exact length needed. I realized why not cut one in half and buy a couple connectors and then two for the price of one pretty much.
I wanted to ask and make sure that I’m not overlooking some sort of issue. Also Looking for suggestions on what connectors to use. I understand that the voicing of the cable will likely change slightly from using different connectors, but it seems worth the risk to me. I don’t plan to cut off and replace the factory connections. I know they’ll look a little Frankenstein but I’m not worried about that since I’ll never see them. Budget would be about 50$ for a pair of connectors. I don’t think it makes sense to spend more really. Also I would think that the quality at that price point should be similar to what the factory is using. Looking around I didn’t come up with much. Wattgate is the one I keep coming across with a few options in my budget. Also Parts Connexion has there house brand that at least look more impressive for 60$ a pair.
I wouldn’t think I’m the first person to have this idea, and look forward to all your responses.
