Hi

I am re arranging my hifi and I realise I have some reasonable cables but they are all too long and as well as presumably reducing performance slightly - the cables are in a mess and I would like to streamline and make four 0.5/6m pairs out of two 1 m-ish pairs.
In short I'd like to cut cables in half and have someone re terminate the cut end for me --- all I want is plugs to be non locking as I am not a fan of them but apart from that I'm happy to be guided as to RCA connectors within an agreed budget.
I will ofcourse compensate anyone for their time and skills.
My intention would be to post the cables to the solderman or indeed lady - I am an equal opportunities DIY neanderthal ( unless someone lives close to me in North Essex CO6 ) and have them post them back to me.
I would cover all costs for materials and postage plus an agreed fee - would a fee of £40 for all the soldering be about right ? ----- please message me if the 'job' appeals ---

I was thinking of something like these as plugs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/350333932133?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&rlsatarget=&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108&ff19=0 but welcome advice


tks in advance

I'll do it Chris, if you cover costs and accept plugs from my stock, which are perfectly OK. The Neutric are fine, but nothing special by the way. There are AOS members with cables I've made who are very happy with them.
