Time to switch to a better RCA, like the KLEI or WBT. Cardas RCA's are made of brass (the KLEI and top WBT are copper or silver), and the KLEI and top WBT designs include a single point ground pin contact point, which eliminates the eddy current distortion created by "normal" ground barrels such as those found in Cardas RCA plugs.
Cardas RCA Silver connectors
The most beautiful and jewel-like RCA connectors have to be the Cardas. Unfortunately they are also a giant PITA to solder to. The issue is on the shield side. There's a little bar, but if you solder to it, you end up having a very difficult time re-attaching the case. The wire I bend around the tab always gets in the way.
Does any solder master have a trick they'd like to share?
Thanks!
