can u cut longer interconnects and reterminate?

Is there a problem with cutting a longer cable and have it reterminated to a new length- I have moved my system around and do not need the 10 meters I have but do not want to buy new cables- Is there a problem with just buying new rca plugs and have them reterminated or does that effect the sound - thanks

Extravaganza, which solder(s) would you recommend to cut & reterminate pure copper high end interconnects?

Synergistic Research won't do it either. I think there theory is that by not doing it, you will have to buy more cables.

Some cable designs using air tubes cannot just be cut. No way to strip the core.

I just received from Delphi the two pair of Masterbuilt Signature balanced interconnects that I had them reterminate. I had a 4 meter pair cut to a 2-1/2 and a 1-1/2 meter pair. The cost was around $200 plus the four new XLR connectors.
