Reterminating Kimber 12TC Speaker cable: possible?

Ok, I know it's possible, but the real question is...how much of a nightmare is it? I have a pair of 12TC non-biwire cables that I picked up for a song. Would like to convert them to biwire. Considering the price I don't mind doing surgery myself.

Have you re-terminated 8TC or 12TC with good results? Any tips?

Thanks...

You couldn't find an easier cable to terminate. True, there are a lot of conductors to deal with, but, there is nothing high tech about the wire itself. Just traditional med. guage solid core. I have had to re terminate cables with a gazillion smaller than human hair conductors and believe me, that is a pain. Especially with my primitive tools and skill.

I had my 8TC reterminated by Kimber. pricing was completely fair and turn around was very fast. Don't know that retermination is difficult as a DIY, but know with certainty it was easy with Kimber.

Good luck
