I fully believe it to be the "craftsman"!Since late last year, I have been building several sets of DIY interconnects, trying out different materials, but mostly because I have more components that need more interconnects.
In the last weeks I have had all kinds of odd/unrepeatable/destructive problems with these IC's. Although I somehow thought it was a heat shrink process, I have had another problem with a set that I had yet to heat shrink.
Symptoms are like loops or shorts (nasty). They tend to occur when I have just changed/removed/relocated the IC's. Gotta be the solder connections and most likely the braid portion of the IC. I think that my solder process may be melting the inner dielectric too much or something.
I gotta start at RCA/IC construction 101 again. I have read your and Thorstens DIY in the past, but boy something is real amiss.
At least I now know how much capacitor storage energy my monoblocks have. Long loud deep hums for more than 10 seconds seems like a nice reserve!
