Has anyone changed terminal connectors (RCA or spades) on Nordost speaker cable?

Posted by tyrreld (A) on November 30, 2015 at 10:36:39

I want to utilize a spare pair of Nordost Tyr2 speaker cables (banana plugs at either end) for a single Wilson Benesch subwoofer. The sub has its own dedicated external amp, so I'd like to turn the Nordost pair into a bi-wire run with the original 4 banana plugs at the sub end and 2 banana plugs at the amplifier - essentially joining the two speaker cables at the amplifier end into two separate bananas instead of 4.
I've considered banana Y splitters (can't locate good quality) and want to avoid jumpers as it would require purchasing new items and I'd like to use what I already have.
Has anyone done this, or has anyone changed the connectors on Nordost speaker cables? I assume the fine monofilament wires are simply crimped into their propriety Nordost bananas. So in theory, I could disassemble the 4 bananas at one end of the Nordost and relocate into a pair of WBT plugs. Is there something technical I am missing here other than voodoo or magic? I'm not willing to do surgery on expensive cables without advise from the wise Audio Asylum community!
