Can a ic be sent back to...


a company to have shortened and reterminated? I'm looking at a pair of ic's for sale but they are twice as long as I need. Thanks for a response. Regards, Bradz

Tara wanted $35 to reterm prism 22 cables, fair perhaps, but the local hi-fi hut charged $20 for a decent job...
harmonic technology wants $25 per termination. for the going rate of a used truth link i figure it's prably smarter to get some good RCAs and DIY. which brings the question where to get good connections and silver solder to do the work with.

Some "boutique" solder, Wonder, WBT, etc. is 4% silver and hard to work because of high melting point. Cardas is easier, has a lower melting point. I've been using Radio Shack 'High Tech Rosin Core' 62/36/2.Part #64-013, 2% silver. Very easy to work and cheap. Both the Welborne and Michael Percy sites play down any sonic advantage to silver content but both sell 3 or 4 "boutique" brands. Michael Percy, BTW, generally has best prices on most everything including connectors.
