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.

thanks for the info. they don't make anything longer than 3.5 meter now and I need 5+ meter from my pre to power. not sure why they limit themselves to 3.5 meter and why they would not help customers re-terminate, I am sure it can be done even at a premium charge.

Stringreen, thanks for the offer. I have Anti-Cable speaker cables and they are not the easiest cable to work with due to their stiffness. I also notice Anti-Cable shrinks the soundstage a bit and reduces the air around each instrument when compared to my other speaker cables. Almost like the difference between a big speaker and small monitor kind of differences.

Sonic genius, I know Pure Note does offer custom lengths at a higher price, sale price does not apply to custom length and no refund is allowed either. When I bought my Cerulean many moons ago, 5 meter was an option and I could have returned them if I didn't like them during the 30 day trial period. Now I either have to order a short one just to try and return it for a longer one if I like it or return it if I don't.
