Broken Interconnects-fix, trash or ???


What do you do with broken interconnects? I've tried to fix them in the past but don't have the "touch".

I just broke a tooth off of an Accusound by Apapture. These are older but were very expensive 3 foot interconnects when new. I also have a nice 1 meter coax Tara Labs single digital cable that the end came loose on. Finally, I've got 3 older DAK cables that were nice in their day that certainly aren't worth fixing but even for the right angle gold plated RCA's are worth something.

Am I hard on cables? I don't think. Let's not comment on that. I got all of these from an older guy when I bought some gear from him. I think he was hard on them.

Anyone out there fix these? Anyone out there interested in these? I really don't want to throw them away...

I fixed a Audioquest quartz by unscrewing the end and just reconnecting a loose wire. I didn't resolder or anything. It has worked fine ever since about 6 years ago.
