Did you purchase them from a dealer? If so, check with the dealer. I sent some back that where 5-6 years old, because some of the copper wires strands had broken ( from moving the speakers around so much with them attached ) they reterminated all 12 spade connections, free... and had the cable back to my dealer in 5 days.
Change connectors for Transparent Ultra Bi-wire?
Should I change the factory bananas on the speaker ends with the Furutech (202R)? My factory bananas have become so compressed that they do not make good contact with speaker connectors unless held by some sort of force. I know these are expensive cables, but I think the Furutech is a better connector. Does anyone think it might degrade the sound by changing to these connectors? I know that Transparent puts a lot of engineering into their cables and I want to keep the quality of the sound as when they were new. The Transparent connectors are very thin material on the bananas. I tried to open them up slightly and a couple strands of the connector broke. Thanks in advance for your insight and advise...
