? Re-Terminate Virtual Dynamics Speaker Cable ?

How easy is it to Re-Terminate Virtual Dynamics Master Bi-wire Speaker Cable ?

Any one ever needed to split Bi wire to 4 pairs ? I have been looking out for 2nd hand cables, but they don’t seem to appear very often at all.

I hope a very knowledgeable chap will chime in ;-)

Not having taken anything apart as of yet, I’m just a little worried that de-soldering the spade may warm and loosen any glue, which may cause me to run in to trouble…

Very much look forward to any comments.

Thank you
DC

you need to have a powerful soldering iron and clamps such as 'helping hands' to do any of speaker cable terminations or interconnects.

ok cool, so stripping back heat shrink, de solder the spade, with helping hands, resolder on new spades, simple as that... :-) any anti vibration magic used on the original connection ?

Cheers

For large gauge I'd simply crimp lock rather than solder at all.
I heard that the VD manufacturer(forgot his name) does some magic spells on the complete product against vibration, EMI, RFI and otherI(s).
You can find out instructions and share:-)

I have a feeling I may need a very powerful soldering iron.. maybe I will try and find out a bit more as I don't want to destroy the magic spells, if I can't re-create them :-)
Cheers
