Cable re-termination in NJ area

Yes, it might improve them.  Lots of us improve on OEM work.

If you ship in a flat rate box, cost is the same anywhere in the US. Let me know if you don’t find someone to help.  I would do it for you at no charge.

Is it DIY, or is it professionally done?  Who would you rather have working on your equipment, a $25/hr trainee or a physist/nuclear/mechanical engineer with 40 years of experience and lots of fabrication/shop experience?

And no, I’ve never had trouble selling equipment that I have modified, generally people are willing to pay extra for it. However, in reading the original post, I don’t think resale value is high on the concern list.

AZ is not gold pressed latinum. they are moderately priced. If you reread the original post, this fellow wants to do it himself but his hands no longer work well enough. Thus, I offered to do it for free, for an apparently aging audiophile. Don’t know his situation but more than willing to help.

I respect your opinion, just want to make sure you respect mine.

I think people picture the modern version of scientists in white coats doing all work at the OEM facility.  And some small shops, just one guy, have that advantage.  He has to do it all.  But in a shop with multiple employees, hire a qualified circuit technician and put him to work terminating cables and he will quit the first day.  

Some small shops in small towns have low turnover and eveybody bowls together on tuesday night and they get very qualified people that say in their jobs for a long time, lots of pride.

But in urban areas, turnover is cruel and the "new guy" has to be trained often.  Thus this kind of work is often outsourced to countries where experienced adults make $25 a day or less.

as my dad said, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.  Not totally true but for sure a good answer if you've spent your life  doing things.
