[QUOTE="croak, post: 968199, member: 361"] Try avoid nickel plating layers. Use a temp controlled iron at the right temp for the solder used and within spec for the wire (van den Hul for eg has a max temp recommendation) If you believe cable conductor And construction makes a sonic difference I would avoid excessive add on like shrinks and sleeves and boots if not needed. Air is the best insulator. Everything else is inferior in different grades. Plug connectors in to a dummy socket to hold them and act as a heat sink. Decide on your thinking on the ground of the XLR. Pin 1 only or pin 1 and body. Use a method of stripping that does not bruise or gauge the conductors. More important for video and digital but worth observing none the less. . [/QUOTE]
