Separating BiWire Cables

Thanks for responses. Unfortunately, the speaker-end terminations are banana, or I would have put both spades on the terminal.

I am going to try it with one cable to hear how it sounds. May end up having to sell them, which would be sad because I really like the Jenas.

aw, that is too bad. i know nothing about how well they will or won't work with one end simply insulated and unconnected.

i would still see if jena could either reterminate them or give you the name of someone they recommend. depending on how old they are, a retermination might not be a bad thing anyway.

Don't, sell them and buy new cables of low gauge size at Home Depot and do your own terminations. Don't buy into hi-end cable nonsense. Hey, $25 of new cable will convert you, forever.

It hasn't converted me. I tried, I hoped, but nope.

If the binding posts have large holes you may be able to fit the banana plugs into them. Be careful. If not you could possibly remove one set of bananas and insert the bare wire into the binding post. The downside of this of course is if in the future you decide to sell the cables it may reduce their value somewhat. I would look into having them re- terminated.

Electrical tape is cheap!
