Cheap connectors vs. switchcraft and neutrik.

Lover of all boobage.
Why on earth are the cheapos so much easier to solder together? I have a bag of redco TRS connectors and 8 switchcraft ones.

Guess witch connector is easier to do a good job on? :lol:

Forget about the neutrik ones holly shit were those difficult. (although I do like the plastic thing that pinches down on the wire more than the crimping solution).


XLR is a little different, they are all hard. :erk:

But I found a way to make it a tad easier with the XLR ends. I drilled a 1/16" hole in the connection points to feed the wire through (plus it looks cleaner and I seem to get better solder points). Oh and I bought new tips this time around. :lol:.
 
Wow, you think TRS soldering is easier than XLR? Not me dude, XLR gives me so much more space to work in, so I MUCH prefer it to TRS!
