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

some cable manufacturers like Kubala & Purist will never do that because their cables are serially numbered and in case they reterminate into smaller lengths the additional pieces so obtained would, according to them, generate problems relating to serial numbers, warranties etc..

Just use the next sequential serial# on the re-terminated cables??
Just use the next sequential serial# on the re-terminated cables??
Unless I miss my guess, the next number in the sequence is already on the cable that was manufactured next.

I didn't want to insult your interlligence, but if you insist ...
>>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?

It is common knowledge for dealers to order a longer, custom length of NordOst higher end, e.g. Valhalla and then sell it in pieces, reaping huge profits. NordOst stopped delivering custom length.
