Thanks Mac,
I had them too short. The little bit of shrink-wrap is a nice touch. I got it done in my own awkward way . I not posting pictures , You lot will piss yourselves. Maybe I should , just for a giggle .I love taking the piss out myself, I find does'nt hurt so much when someone else does it .

You'll have an ERSA station when you finally bring your ass here
Go and practice, soldering the right way isn't easy but also not an art

The slder will take much faster after that. Guilty party --- Monster.Andy,
It was 3am when I finished. I could'nt get the solder to run. Then when it did,
I melted the insulation and kept getting a short.I thought I'd run out of bloody cable.Anyway, I stuck at it and WOW. I have never heard a dac that sounds like tubes until I got this MSB . The DEQX has been relieved of dac duty for the time being. Analogue Balanced was quite an improvement over coax Dig
Bo, really did the business for me with the room compensation.I'm in heaven

There was a solvent method also but I cant recallwhat it was.
The foam type insulations do not help either.
Some cable vendors have clearly never tried their hand at soldering.
Try these guys for good quality schmutter http://www.vdctrading.com/default.asp
No affil.
Good to know! The bulk of it was LF loading - it was surprisingly strong for those concrete floors. Guess nothing should surprise me with the 2245 and those cabinets...Bo, really did the business for me with the room compensation.I'm in heaven
Now that's funny...!
Now that's damned weird...
Sounds like every gig I do....
Rich - make sure and test each completed cable with a mini-meter. Just make sure you've not crossed any leads. Good discipline, particularly if you finished at 3am...
I have one of these in my gig bag at all times.

As you should. But your wife's purse!!??
I have so much stuff in my "save the gig bag", it won't fit here. It's insane. But everytime I try to wean, I end up adding more stuff. Two soldering irons, 26-adaptors of all sorts, 16-turnarounds of each gender, etc., balanced, unbalanced adaptors, Pin2-Pin3 converters - it goes on-and-on...
Lisa's grandmother always carried bullets in hers. Here in Alaska, you just don't know what you will faced with! It is a frontier, still!
Sometimes a little solder and a match can get you out of the woods pretty quick!

Dear Bo,
Once again, you are confused.
Thats NOT the gig bag, I have all that stuff in the "punt" box. When it is third and long, go to the punt box! A giblets are found there.
Gig bag = minimag, aspirin, lots of ear plugs...etc.
tongue in cheeked,

For XLR testing I like the RAT Sniffer. It's a two piece unit so you can test the ends of long cable runs, snake cables ect without needing both ends together to plug into the tester. They'll check for shorts, pin swaps, open pins. You can also use it as a phantom power indicator.
My gig bag has grown into the entire top lift out tray of a work trunk and my tool box will barely close!
My XLR soldering record is about 90 in an 8 hour period!

Yea, that is a goodie. Rat Sound Pro Audio Sales
Dood...
DOOD! But, like how long were they...?
You can do my next snake-build, dood. I think I love you...
So I know where to go for my apprenticeship then. The entire west coast is littered with skills I need to learn. I'll bring my surfboard too !
Bo. still in profile one
Rich
LOTSA good surfing in Ohio, yup....
