Sorta tried that already and. “We would need to test the cable in person to determine where it is damaged.“. Was the reply.

@dweller
No screw that I can see and other than the collet with their logo, there doesn’t seem to be anything that comes off.

Yeah, I thought it was crazy too, that’s why the post. I was hoping for something like $50 + shipping. The problem is has to be one of things, a broken connection in one of the two hot wires or a hot wire that’s broken, somewhere in the cable.
I’m going to hope someone here knows the answer. If not, I’m going to slice and dice and lose a couple of inches off my left IC.

If one of the hot wires is broken the sound will get softer. If the ground wire is broken, there will be no sound. Connection one is bad. I’m assuming it’s the connection. I’ve never had a wire break mid cable, but I’m sure it happens.

You’re right about the O ring on the female side, there isn’t one on the male side. The O ring is between the lock pieces. I tried to unscrew the female side with a pliers and cloth and so far nothing has moved.
|
@dweller
I forgot to mention, the collets are blue and say RSC air1 and Series 2 under in a different font. They are the only thing that unscrews, so far. The rest of the cable is a black/silver weave and the ends are black with Tara Labs in white on both ends.
|
I wish there was an easy way to share pictures here. It might make this so much easier!
|
Just got a second reply “No easy way unfortunately. We would need to see it in person in order to determine where the connection was bad.”
Sheesh

@erik_squires
Brother, I’ve tried everything I could think of. And yes I took a pliers to the back of the female end (with a cloth to keep from doing to much damage) and nothing! I poked around the male end and tried to pop off the front and nothing.
|
Thanks @baylinor
I’m ready to cut off the end and to start researching new connectors.
|
@yoyoyaya
The metal collet does unscrew, but that’s all I can do. Very frustrated. Probably going to cut the old one off and replace it with something aftermarket. No idea what’s out there, I have a mission for tomorrow.

The lifetime warranty is for the original owner. These are second hand.

@kingsleuy
I’ll end up having to do both cables, otherwise they won’t sound the same. I’m sure the cable company will be happy to sell me something 😀
|
Thanks @carlsbad
I’ll check those out. I’ve bought from them before. Chris is good people.
|
@carlsbad ,
I’m looking at ordering a couple pair of the Aeco connectors and have a question. How big of a cable will fit? The Tara’s are easily 1/2” thick.
Thanks.

Thanks @terry9
As I’m getting older, my hands sometimes shake, so most likely I’ll be taking them to someone to be soldered, but if I do it myself, I’ll solder them in the garage.
|
@carlsbad
Cool, I just ordered two pair.
Oh, did you use silver solder on you connections? I know I have some, but where…
Thanks again.
