you cut the weave type lead off the body of the cap? then tin it? or you mean you leave it attached to the cap but cut it off the original terminal?I think I'll stick with the stranded subleads mine had in the can, if I have to attach to them anyway. thx.
Follow Ups:
I guess I should have taken pictures. Don't remove it from cap body. soldering to the cap foil is almost impossible. Cut the lead at the end caps.
I don't see why there must be soldered new leads to the cap.
The leads that come off the foil inside the cap are non metallic and I suspect them to be copper. They terminate into a rigid steel lead that exits the case. The whole mod deals with eliminating the magnetic metal from the caps.
I think what he means is that he doesn't see why you need to add new leads to the internal leads that attach to the foil. Oh, and they're DEFINITELY metallic ;)
I simply don't believe the short lead makes an impact on sound quality.
But YMMV. It's OK.
The K72p6 has slight magnetic stiff lead (2.5mm diametr)
.
The FT-2 have non-magnetic soldering tabs.
Yet I slightly prefer the K72p-6 sonically.
