I also made these same interconnects...




Used Hakko Solder Station... Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder... CW brand "No clean Flux Dispensing Pen (part # CW8100)...

I found Pre-Tinning cable and RCA pins very helpful... You can also use Vise Clip Tool to hold if you need it...


I plugged my male RCA Connectors into old DVD Player for a Heatsink...


After everything is Pre-Tinned and held in place, a little Silver Solder applied to joints is all you need... Make sure your heat is perfect, you do not want Cold Solder Joints...

Because the V-Twist is soft, I used Heatshrink to keep the Set Screws from doing any damage... You need very little pressure when setting the Set Screws on the male RCA Connectors...

After I was finished I used my Audiodharma Cable Cooker to condition cables for three to four days...
