I have a 2.1 speaker system and the cable have been cut (by dog!), so i want to connect 3 ''naked'' cables.Until know they are connected each other twisted.The best way is soldering this cables and then apply heat shrinkable plastic?

Re: Best way connecting ''naked'' cables?
stupid question: So i have to apply solder to all the way of the cables or just in the edges?
Is there any other way for audio connection so i couldn't lose sound quality?Comment

Re: Best way connecting ''naked'' cables?
You could use in-line splicers, commonly called "butt splice connectors". You just strip the wires, insert in the ends of the connector, then crimp both ends.

Re: Best way connecting ''naked'' cables?
Put heatshrink tube if you want through the cable
Remove a bit of insulation from both sides, about as wide as one of your fingers.
Ideally, you have some liquid flux so that after you clean the ends of the cables with a bit of alcohol you put a bit of alcohol.
If you don't have flux, just skip this step.
Twist the ends of the cable so that a good connection is made.
Put solder tip UNDER the wires to heat them up, then put solder wire with flux core at the base of the wire between the tip and the wire. If the temperature is right, the solder should just melt and absorb, go up into the wire and coat it nice silvery layer.
Somewhat like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgjCeiLRWP8
If you want to do it perfectly right, you do it like this expert that does avionics level soldering:

Re: Best way connecting ''naked'' cables?
@ randtek it's one cable that has 3 audio cables inside..and i have to twist these 3 cables with the other three and then put them into a tube,so i think this isn't a good solution.
I'll try the mariushm's solution, with a cheap solder tool..and i hope that i won't have a problem.
Thanks for your help

Re: Best way connecting ''naked'' cables?
Reminds me of when a black lab puppy bit one of my Nintendo controller cords, back in the early 1990s!
(Original-type Nintendo)
When I was ready to play the Nintendo too, lolz.
The owner of the puppy was a foster worker I had in 1993 and 1994.Last edited by RJARRRPCGP; 12-04-2012, 07:20 PM.ASRock B550 PG Velocita

Re: Best way connecting ''naked'' cables?
Cut out the damaged section, slide large heatshrink tube which will be used later for all three cables, Starting with the first one, place new cable in place, slide on small heat shrink tube, strip wire long enough to wrap around each other inline, then apply solder, slide heatshrink over, hit it with a hair-dryer or heat gun, repeat for others, then once all is insulated, test system, if it works, then slide the big one over and hit it with heat gun and you're good to go!Last edited by Mad_Professor; 12-04-2012, 07:44 PM.Comment

Re: Best way connecting ''naked'' cables?
I've found a bottle of liquid tape useful things like this. The repair doesn't look as bulky as when one put heat shrink tube over several other heat shrink tubes, that again is over wires soldered on top of each other.
Liquid tape is also useful for situations where one got damaged insulation, and one can't put heat shrink tube on, without cutting the wire. Or where a layer of heat shrink tube will be to bulky, like wires from the motherboard to the laptop monitor.------------

Hi everyone!
I managed to get my hands on a rough condition B&K 707 for "the best price" because it was not working. It's my first tube tester and I'm really wanting to get it up and running. I downloaded that manual that has the schematics and tested every resistor and capacitor and replaced the ones that failed. I replaced the missing 83 rectifier tube with a used but tested-good one. I also have a number 80 rectifier tube that I have used in tests before I found the 83 tube.
Initially I noticed that I was not getting the red on-light to turn on, but it... -
Recently I acquired an Eico HFT 92 AM/FM radio made back in 1958. The unit has had some decent modifications done such as replacing the rectifier tube with silicon diodes and replacing the main filter capacitor with electrolytic capacitors. When I powered it up FM wouldn't tune past 105Mhz. I checked the FM tuner front end assembly and found a capacitor not soldered to the coil from the Plate B+ to and ground on the other side of the coil. Some calibration was needed on the trimmer capacitor on the tuner. My question is AM is extremely weak. When I tap on the tube I get all kinds of snapping and... -

It's been a while since I've checked in here or needed input on narrowing down what to replace on a TV repair, but I've got one on my bench now that has me wondering. The lack of part (board) availability means I may need to do some component-level diagnostics, and a second opinion is always good when it comes to that.
The issue - Sharp LC-80LE844U does not display. Power light comes on for a while, then you can hear a relay click off and the light blinks twice slow, then five times fast. Service manual points to 'Panel Power Supply Error' with this code, but isn't much more help... -
The Fatman iTube (OEM Dared, which also sold its own-branded version, the Dared MP-5) is a tube-buffered gainclone first introduced c.2005, to target the iPod market with a bookshelf tube setup. It became a huge success over the next ~15 years, selling over ~100k units worldwide to a market where it was often their first introduction to vacuum-tube audio on a budget.
