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.
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.

I think it's cheesy that Kubala won't work on their own cables.
you got that right, Rja.

Usually one pays a premium for the 1st meter and then a fraction for an additional meter. What prevents someone purchasing a long cable, say 20 meters, and ask the manufacturer reterminate to 19 one meter cable, keep some and sell the rest? Or a 3M and reterminate to 1 and 2M? At the end, the company loses profits/$$ so I understand their retermination policy.
