If the wires are enameled you can burn it off with any iron worth anything and it doesn't get any more simple than cutting the end off a cable and soldering on whatever termination desired. I think we can pretty much end this thread with that.

We can, except that I have fond memories of asking you the very same question about reterminating my cardas cable. But we were young then...

Yeah, that's why you're asking about re-terminating shitty cables and why you think for some reason 5 feet for a headphone cable is long enough.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it shitty. Snake oil maybe.

I think 5 ft is long enough because I sit right next to my gear and listen

good luck with that.

I'm curious about that as well, if I consider myself a decent DIYer I'd just as much go and buy the cable and do it than wait around for replies to a post. Probably could have been done with the cable by now, actually.

I always like to see if anyone has done anything similar to what I am thinking about doing, and the 10ft 1/4" cable is out of stock. I saw no harm in asking just to see if it had been done before.

Thanks for the warm response

I hate to see what you ask once you decide to try and get laid for the first time.

Ooh, can I give the advice for those questions? If he thinks he's confused now...

real DIYers have solder pots. noob.

Pffft. Real DIYers have MAPP gas torches ...

5 feet is not a good length for the cable.

You're always welcome to share your wisdom with me, loverboy.

I think Tice would........ Agree?

Aren't you confused enough already?

It's Cardas, so it needs to be a Golden Ratio length

Yep i have one of those. Needed when i changed out my

water heater. Not enough whoopie out of a propane torch

to sucessfully solder the copper fittings. Almost as good

as an oxy/accetyline torch without the required large

cylinders.

Have a small hydrogen torch for some specialty work

I learned exactly what you're saying when I was finishing my basement 5 years ago, and the damn pipes kept leaking and I couldn't sweat the joints properly with propane because it wasn't hot enough (especially after turning on the water and getting the pipes wet and leaky). Doh!
