I have to re-terminate my speaker cable from 4 bananas/spades each end to 2 each end.:Not Sure:
I've bought 8 Nakamichi locking bananasandheat shrink , said banana plugs have 2 screws to fix the cable in place , do I solder the wires together first or use bare and tighten? Bearing in mind that the Audioquest is basically 2 solid core for the HF and 4 for LF and are approx 1mm dia , so will be 6 wires together. Is it better to tin each core individually first before soldering together?
Also solder? How much of a difference will silver solder make over leaded solder , apart from an emptier pocket?
chezi. DIY dickhead.
