Hi all,
In an effort to not devastate my tiny budget for new kit I've decided to make some RCA cables.
Has anyone had any experience with this or already loaded a thread ?
Thanks.

Lots of experience with RCA's ,
I use 1, a hobby vice for holding the RCA plug, and dont forget to thread the outer plug on to the wire first
some modern RCA plugs you can thread it later- so check . Use a magnifying glass
where needed.
2. Temperature on your iron to about 280 degrees
3 Trim conductor ends so they are exact to where they go, short as you can is best
ensuring conductors cannot touch each other.
4 Tin the wire ends first, and very important ** tin the solder tip
5 Use the holes on the RCA plug to position before soldering
6. apply heat no more than 5 seconds before solder is applied
7 Trim soldered ends with sharp side cutters if needed.
8 Check your work with a multimeter set to ohms for continuity each end
and check for shorts.
Hope that helps
Cheers / Chris

This may be of some use. I have made several of the X-cables. http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/diycables.html
