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

Send it back to the mfr to re-terminate if you want to pay the premium and want to preserve resale.
BUT, If you don't feel capable of doing it yourself, save your money, buy whatever connector suits your fancy and bring it to a tech who will charge a fraction of what the mfr will charge. Yes, resale MAY be killed but you can end up with a superior interconnect if you use superior connectors.
I say DIY. It is not rocket science. It can be tedious but it is not impossible. And, FYI, I've seen some of the boutique cable guys with solder terminations that I would be embarrassed about. ymmv...
