Impressive! It's no wonder Canare plugs are hard to crimp. That's why a crimping tool is available for this purpose. Btw, which cable have U chosen to replace the stock?

adhoc,

 

I had similar problems soldering neutrik plugs but if you spray abit of progold contact cleaner it does the trick.

the canare is VERY VERY ex. the neutrik is $3.80, the canare was $8.

 

however i chose the canare for 3 reasons

 

1. no matter what i did i couldnt get my solder to 'stick' to my neutrik. no amounit of cleaning, heating, re-cleaning, re-heating would do the trick.

 

2. the canare is small, looks much better too IMO

 

3. the strain relief on the canare is much better looking, tougher, and the internal solid metal cord crimp is much more comforting and re-assuring than the neutrik's plastic crimp. it took quite a bit of force to tighten the canare's crimp.

 

 

ablaze, i'm doing the complete mod account in pdf format. easier to disseminate that way IMO. also perfect for printing.

Actually, the Neutrik strain relief is a better one of the two. The more the cable is tugged, the tighter the grip will be on the Neutrik's relief.

 

Soldering on the Neutrik requires some soldering paste/ fluid & a higher power soldering iron (>30W). Fufil these and soldering will be a piece of cake.
