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

Nordost uses detailed assembly methods when attaching a terminal to a conductor. Things like a specific torque rating on the crimp are chief among them. Part of the overall design is matching a terminal to a conductor, or in the case of Tyr II, multiple conductors. Would a different torque rating on the crimp make a huge amount of difference? Hard to tell but probably not. Would a different connector make a lot of difference? I'd say quite possibly. I would recommend contacting your local dealer and have the cables sent back to Nordost to be re-terminated. Not only would you be sure it's done correctly, but also done with components designed for the purpose. I'm sure you'd hate to degrade the sonic character of what is a really wonderful line of cable products. I've owned Tyr II myself and thought they sounded great. Besides, I think the cost to have Nordost do this is pretty minimal.
