Nordost repair

Anyone know if Nordost will do repairs on used, non dealer/private sale cable?

I'm awaiting an email response from them, perhaps someone has insight on what Nordost will/will not do?

I have a feeling my 9 year run with a  FREY II phono cable purchased for 1/3 of list is about to get expensive.

I'm hoping repair cost will make sense to do IF, possible.

@tablejockey ,

If you don’t want to send it back to Nordost, maybe check these guys out...

Analysis Plus-I considered trying their  speaker cables some time ago.

Guess it won't hurt to find out if they do other brands.

Thank you.

You're quite welcome. 

Doesn't cost anything to ask.

I asked the Nordost rep a while back if they could mod my Tyr phono cable. I wanted to go from RCA’s at the tonearm end to a DIN connector. Was told no go.

Well after 2 unanswered emails, I give Nordost a big FAIL in the customer response column.

Ordered some Neutrik NF2C-B2’s which were the Nordost OEM for this 1st run II version. I bought 2 pair for $54.96 including shipping, which probably saved me at least $100 +and hassle of an official Nordost repair(if I ever DID get an RA#).

Thought about getting WBT’s, but after looking at price, way out of my price tolerance.

You can’t buy 1 real WBT RCA for the price of 4 MIC’s which look ALMOST identical to ones used on my 1st gen Heimdall IC’s.

15 minutes and soldering iron, the Frey is back in action.
