Anyone reterminated a Valhalla?


Looking into buying a long length of it and halving it.

Nordost won't reterminate Valhalla. Why not? Something special about it or marketing ploy?

They used to reterminate the Valhalla's but what a lot of people were doing was buying real long cables and having them reterminated into many smaller runs. Selling the left overs and usually making money and flooding the market with used valhallas(driving there residual value even lower- which is good and bad at the same time). I think they charged a nominal fee of like $60 to reterminate valhalla's. I have friend here at the 'gon who bought a 30' pair(used) and had them made into 10 one meter pairs- sold them all individually- made $5k+ on the deal. It stinks for people now but I can understand why they did it
Interesting thread as I had a similar situation with a 32' pair of NBS Statement II XLR. All was fine except for a very slight middle frequency hum. NBS said they "can not" reterminate this but was more than happy to "upgrade" to a new Omega cable for a lot more $$. I said forget it and sent the cable to Drew at Moon Audio who did a phenomenol job of taking the cable down to 14' (with no hum) and then making me (2) 6' pairs and 2 (3) pairs. It is not factory work but who cares as I now have my entire system using this cable and it is outstanding. I do not imagine changing this for years and years ..... if ever! So you might want to look up Drew at Moon Audio.

I was going to suggest Drew also--his Audiogon member name is Drubrew. He makes his own cables and reterminates all brands of cables--very meticulous work.
