Speaker Cable Banana Plug Breakage
randy, I'm worried that I might affect the sound, making one cable different sounding from the other. My thought is to have both cables re-terminated exactly the same way and by someone who knows what they're doing better than myself. That said, I...

Thanks, randy & tooblue. I sent Patrick Cullen an email. I'm not prepared to try anything on my own. I can paint or sculpt your portrait but working on electronics is beyond my pay grade.

audiolabyrinth, it's just as funny how no-one knows who Pierre Moerlen is, given he had a long career as a drummer, percussionist, musician and technician. It may just be a generation gap.
