I don,t Understand ????

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.

My guess is that they give these ridiculous price quotes because they don't want to spend the time doing any custom work. They could have just refused outright to do any custom work.

Most of these companies don't have much manpower and so they put their resources on whatever pays the best.

Lets see now. Richard Vandersteen can put out two entire sets of 2Ce loudspeakes for the price it takes to cut and solder WBT plugs on two ends. I think I DO understand...quite clearly

I believe I missed my calling!

I'm going to learn to terminate cables.

Being retired is ridiculous when lunatics are running around earning the cost of a dinner for two at Alain Ducasse hourly!

I'm sure it'll take me less time to learn this new field. It only took a couple of years to become an actuary and paid a lot less!

Why even mess with retermination. Pick up the exact cable here or on auction and sell what you have. You make out better and it gives you a chance to upgrade.
