Re-terminate Pure Note Paragon


I have a long pair of Paragon Enhanced, 3.5m XLR if I remember correctly. Since it's not quite long enough to reach from my pre to power, I want to use it for my source by cutting it into 3 cables.

I contacted Pure Note, they would not help and gave some reasons I thought was not very reasonabe. Has anyone tried to re-terminate his Paragon before? Can it be done? I love the sound of Pure Note, even my older Cerulean performs as good as Nordost Quattro Fil.

Been there, done that. You cannot re-terminate Pure Note cables. Once you cut them, there is nothing to work with since it is wire in multi-aircore tubes. Not a conventional cable where you can just strip the wires. They also use a machine bonding process that cannot be done by hand. Don't ruin them, just sell them and buy longer cables. Their new stuff is better any way. FWIW :)
Semi: If you like the sound of Pure Note cables, what is the risk? The Vanguard cables sound very close to the Paragons, actually a little better in the highs. They also use the same connectors. Rather than argue your case here, see what Pure Note will do for you.
