One of them has just come off some silver anniversary and Im sat here thinking Im going to need to buy a new inner (therefore a whole new plug) and find the shop again with the crimping tool. They cant be reused once off unless I try and flood them with solder
I'm not best pleased because Ive been looking at it and it just seems to be a box crimp that should have held the cable better than this. Its never had any real pressure to pull it off and I thought these crimps would be rock solid.
These cables were in my backup box on some biwire Silver Anniversary. I've brought them out for an application, given the outer shells a little light rub then realised one of them is loose and falling off. I feel unsure about the rest of the plugs now
At £5 each on biwire cables it wasnt particularly cheap and may not have been one of my sensible buys. £110 for two 2.5 metre lengths all in.
I think I may solder on some bucket, nickel Deltrons with heatshrink. I might reapply one Airloc at the shop than sell the cables on.
I think the most annoying thing is that the Airlocs are not user serviceable if problems arise
