Components:
* Jupiter Solid Copper wire, 28AWG, with waxed cotton dialectric (
click) : 8 x 1.2m lengths
* KLEI Pure Harmony RCA plugs (
click)
* WBT solder
Process:
* Cut the wire into 8 equal lengths
* Trimmed the ends to expose the copper (should have done this later, in hindsight)
* Labelled 4 wires with blue tape, to indicate these would be signal wire.
* Braided 4 wires into a cable run, twice.
* Slid the Harmony rubber grommets onto the cable runs, and this was actually very difficult. Even taping up the ends of my wire, the copper ends still got bent in the process of squeezing the grommets on.
* Re-trim the ends, to expose more smooth unbent wire, and trim off the copper that got compromised (I'm fussy about wire with sharp bends in it).
* Soldered ends onto the Pure Harmony plugs (the wire runs are 2+2 (2 signal, 2 ground))
* Buzzed them out, to make sure it's all connected as it should be
Sounds easy and straight forward, but it's bl00dy fiddly. Also, that 28AWG pure copper wire is so soft, it's actually hard to work with.
Time to rig up a cheapy system to run them in,,,,,,,
