Hints on soldering IC's


I have a pair of (older) MAS IC's, and I need to have a pair of WBT RCA's soldered onto one end. (Formerly it was a mini RCA, experimenting with my Sony Walkman Pro) Should I take these to the local repair shop, do it myself, or is there a "technique" to soldering IC's that would escape me or my local stereo repair facility ? Thank you for your help.

Hey, Anubis, get thee over to Audio Asylum's cable forum or Jon Risch's DIY interconnect page. I think they don't use voodoo to make their IC's. If you have the right soldering iron and good silver solder (not Radio Shack), it should be fairly easy to do the terminations yourself. Have fun!
