Hi Pops, It really is simple but like anything else you get better the more times you do it. I have a pair of the 8TC in a bi wire configuration that are 6ft. I am not using these at this time. If they are long enough, you are welcome to borrow these for a couple of months. BTW they have the postmaster spades on this pair.
How about a soldering thread?
There's one thread with some good tips on soldering i.c.'s, but like many, I'd like to tackle the Homegrown cable kits. I suppose the instructions are good but I know from teaching hand cutting dovetails that there are things I do, things you don't hear about, that make the job easier and the joints more precise. Things like spending ten minutes turning a crosscut into a ripsaw, making chisels "scary sharp" and finding the inside and outside of boards.Let's hear from some veteran kit builders, please.
