Re: it's a temp-controlled station. I've set it to around 450degree Celcius. (nt)

OK, so what is it that U are having trouble with?

U say soldering the center pin is not a problem BUT that soldering to the GND barrel has proven to be an issue.

This shouldn't be an issue as they are made of the same metals BUT the outer barrel has more mass to it and thus my suggestion that the iron is not hot enough.

Also, the Cardas connectors, depending on model, will achieve the circuit GND connection thru the chassis, if the circuit is not
balanced, and if this is the case with your particular circuit, the GND connection can be made elsewhere assuming one has a very solid electrical connection to GND via the GND connection on the RCA connector to chassis.

Use a DVM and measure between the circuit GND and the chassis. If U have zero ohms, U only need to connect the circuit GND to the chassis some way or thru the circuit. If not, and the RCA connectors GND is isolated from the chassis, U will then need to find a way to connect the circuit GND to the GND connection on the Cardas RCA connections.

Let us know your scenario and we can go from there.
