When soldering the Eichmann Bullet Plugs, do your best to get a heat drain that really pulls the heat away.
A normal RCA socket doesn't work out as well as something I found at Guitar Center. It's an all-metal three pronged contraption with an RCA socket and a 1/4" plug - there must be something on the third arm, but I can't remember what. It was just a few dollars.
When the RCA plug to be soldered is mounted on this, there is a lot of metal nearby to conduct the heat away. Set your soldering iron to the right temperature and be fast. The little solder gulleys on the Eichmanns are great.
Great RCA plugs.
