Cable re-termination in NJ area

Can anybody suggest a reliable person / company that can re-terminate some speaker cable for me? NJ area preferred / or tri state area to keep shipping cost down . I have 3 runs of   Acoustic Zen Satori speaker cables for my L/C/R's and need to upgrade the spades to 5/16" on the amp side. Unfortunately because of health reasons,  my hands no longer let me do this simple task and need to seek help . Going to use crimp spades and just need strip , crimp & heat shrink.

I my use Vamp Wire HDS-5 spades and wonder what crimp tool would be best if I find a friend willing to try with my guidance.    

Any suggestions are appreciated

If you don’t find someone AZ might do it for you if you send the cables to them.  Best of luck.

If you ship in a flat rate box, cost is the same anywhere in the US. Let me know if you don’t find someone to help.  I would do it for you at no charge.

@mrupgrade contact Robert Lee to see what he can offer. I would be cautious having these cables re-termibated by someone other than AZ as it will definitely reduce the resale value and I’m questioning the impact to sound as well - connectors affect sonic signature of cables.

Yes, it might improve them.  Lots of us improve on OEM work.

I’m well aware. Up to an individual on how to approach this. DYI upgrades of factory brand name cables always diminish the resale value, sometimes making it nearly impossible to get rid of the cable altogether.
Hence my recommendation to contact Robert (Acoustic Zen).
