The only sure way to avoid nicking the copper (or worse) is to use a thermal stripper, but the insulation material would need to be suitable.
Any tips on stripping high gauge wire?
Hi
I am planning on changing male RCA plugs on RB 600 tonearm from stock Neutrik to WBT Nextgens.I have a Radio Shack wire stripper that goes from 8 to 18 gauge.I suspect that tonearm wire is even thinner than that.How should i proceed?My rack space prohibits me from making any mistakes ,i can only do one take on wire stripping, otherwise if i cut several times the cable wouldn't reach female RCAs of my phono stage.I appreciate your advices in advance.Thanks.
