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!

I didn't have any trouble soldering wires to the tabs on the KLE Absolute RCAs and I moved them from one cable to another a couple times without any problems.  The Absolutes sound pretty good too except for the bass which is too soft for my tastes.
