Re: reterminated used highend cables for sale,a problem?

I would not even consider buying one of the Nordost Valhalla cables U mentioned unless proof of factory retermination or factory authorized retermination can be provided.

"How should an inexperinced buyer know that this is not a factory termination?"

The Valhalla cable is not terminated with Eichmann connectors nor are the Eichmann connectors offered as an option from the factory.
Nordost uses what they call "Profi" connectors and as can be gleened from the link provided, are a crtical link in the cables performance.

" The price of such cable should be lower than a factory terminated one I think."

Absolutely. Like I said, I would not even consider the "modified" Valhalla cables for the reasons stated above.

Cheers,
