I believe I missed my calling!

I'm going to learn to terminate cables.

Being retired is ridiculous when lunatics are running around earning the cost of a dinner for two at Alain Ducasse hourly!

I'm sure it'll take me less time to learn this new field. It only took a couple of years to become an actuary and paid a lot less!

Why even mess with retermination. Pick up the exact cable here or on auction and sell what you have. You make out better and it gives you a chance to upgrade.
I bought a 2 and 1/2 meter sg3 80 siltech on audigon. Siltech agreed to cut it into three equal lengths and charged me just the price of retermination which was $50.00 per end for a total of $400.00. I recently had them reterminate a digital cable which they did for 80.00 and then they sent it next day at no extra charge. I thought I'd share this because 1-I feel siltech deserves the kudos and 2- just to keep a balance view in a jaded world. best regards
Jay it seems that you called it right: "we'll only do it if you REALLY make it worth our while". I once requested an upgrade (as they advertise & seemingly encourage buyers to do) adding active shielding to a discrete-shielded cable pair. The quote was ridiculous; it seemed that they really wanted me to buy more cables instead. So I did; bought used instead & they netted Zero $ & a ticked-off customer. BTW I'd already bought ~$8K worth of their products & I told them that, as a vested customer, that I didn't appreciate their "offer" but business must be very good because the attitude was more-or-less a "so-what".
I Don't Understand why you wouldn't go to a source like the parts connection and buy wbt or vampire or whatever and some shrink wrap and do the terminations yourself. There's 2 connections, hot and ground, period. you cut off the factory termination and see which wires go where.$30 for a weller iron and you can shrink the tubing with a Bic although I don't recommend it. And then you can say, "I did that".
