Where can I get a set of Harmonic Technology pro 11 speaker cables re terminated?


I have a bad locking banana connector on my cables and want to get the bananas changed to spades. I contacted Harmonic Tech to see if they can re terminate the cables. They said I would have to pay to ship the cables to Taiwan and back and pay for the re termination. Does anyone know of someone in the US that would re terminate the cables? I live in northern Ohio and no one near me does it.

VH Audio sells connectors. I would check with Chris if he would take this job on for a fee if you purchased spades from him. 

The simple way just used adapter ? I think they sell them.Sometimes I do spade to banana adapter. Cardas , Audioquest, Kimber may have them. You can do it yourself. I really can’t hear the difference using adapter.

Thanks! I will try your suggestions. I can’t use an adapter as one of the banana connectors is very loose when plugged in.

+1 on Patrick @ Cullen Cable.

Another option could be Acoustic Zen, in San Diego. The owner (Robert Lee) used to work at Harmonic Technology, so he'd be very familiar with those cables. Plus, he's a very nice guy. Even if he can't help you directly, there's a good chance that he could recommend another possible option for you.

Best of luck!

Some banana connectors have a little wire running up the prong. Maybe all you have to do is pry it up a bit, like with a small blade screwdriver. Good luck!

Try WBT, the offer spades or banana that don’t require soldering.they have little Hex Head screws that are tighter to a sleeve that secures the connection. They also offer tool kits for making these connections.

I would figure out who manufactures the spade terminal. They have the specific requirements as far as type of crimp tool to use. Maybe the crimper is inexpensive to buy and do it yourself. Good luck! 

I’m based in Illinois and would be able to do this as well. Send me a message if you’d like and we can hash out the details.

I'd suggest doing the upgrade yourself, it's a very simple process and most extremely good connectors now are screw on. You'd only need to cut the old connector off, and screw on the new connector.....no soldering required. I'd recommend Furutech, WBT, or Neotech connectors

The connectors also come in a variety of metals: copper, gold over copper, and rhodium over copper; each comes with it's own sound signature.....use the same material as your original cables if that is the sound that you like. Copper and gold take just a little while to break in, rhodium usually is a bear and takes hundreds of hours.....rhodium will provide more detail which some prefer, to me it sometimes if too much; though I am trying some out right now to see if extended break in helps

 Try to desolder the old one off instead of cutting wire. I had my HT Pro 9s reterminated so many times, there isn't much wire left.

Go find good tutorial videos on Youtube and do it yourself. Oh and WBT connectors are a waste of money you should be able to find high quality connectors with the identical ID on Amazon/Ebay.
