Yes Oliver, I've heard it's a pain to work with, that's why I'm looking for someone more competent than I. I was looking at using Audio note soldered RCA's to stay in keeping with the cable. I know they're typically AN overpriced so any suitable recommendations on that front would be welcome.
And yes Geoff, the strands are very fine. I could have a go at removing the enamel, maybe a candle would do the trick? but it could be an expensive mistake..... Ending in 6" interconnects!
