I don,t Understand ????

Evo845; I've run into a similar situation with Syn. Res., and once we buy into their program, they've got us by the cajones. I just asked them to make me a set of ICs with a "Y" on the amp end-- for biamping-- and I would even supply the ICs. But they told me it was actually cheaper to buy a second set of ICs. And yeah, I wa s pretty POed, and I mean to the point of changing to a different brand wire.

I was also considering doing what you are, but with Sig. # 2 spkr cable. That's incredible that they'd charge that much for cutting the damn things in half and terminating them. Why not call and try talking with Ted Denney, CEO, Designer etc. I actually found it was a lot cheaper to go through a dealer to get a 4 ft. set of ICs made by them. Good Luck. Craig.

Hay guy,s thanks for your responce.No typo, there formula is 1 pair 3ft. 3000.00 x2 =6000 -3400==2600 they said its more work to cut and terminate then to make new. Go figure

That is ridiculous. Thanks for the warning about them. I was just considering using their speaker cables. On the other side of this, I recently needed to change my Jenalabs XLRs to rca. I asked about retermination. I was told that they would just exchange them for a nominal fee. Some companies offer service and loyalty to their customers. Others take the money and run.

Well, I would charge you $3850.00 (<- no typo) to cut your cables in half, so I think you are getting a pretty good deal from them. :) On the other hand, if you would rather spend the extra money and have me do it, I'd be more than happy to. My cutting technique gives cleaner highs and tighter bass vs. factory cuts.

I had a similair experience with AudioQuest about 1 yr ago. I had bought 30ft of Video 2 cable from a guy that wired his house with it. So I bought it and called AudioQuest to see howmuch it would be for them to terminate it. Them gave me a quote of $300.00 a termination. So 1800.00 for 3 cable. I told them they were flipping nuts and told them to pound sand. And by the way they lost a customer. I will never buy a AQ cable again. SO after telling them what I though of them , I get a call from there sales guy , engineer whoever, saying that they will fax me a schematic on how to do it myself. So I ran down to the local AQ deal and bought some AQ connectors. I about $15 bucks a piece, I think(?) and did it myself. 30 mins later I had myself 3 10 ft. cables for 90 bucks. Gave them to a friend and he loves them. Like I said I will not touch another AQ cable. You know for such a small customer base High End companies really know how to alienate there customer base. I guess you have to screw your friends because your enemies won't let you.
