Thanks guys. All very helpful and food for thought.
I like the Neutriks also for the soldering is easier. OTOH., I have some switch craft connectors on some very very old cables here that are still like new. I just hate soldering them although I got pretty good at it.
This will be my third large {sorta} install and I've gotten better and neater. It seems like used 1/4 Long Frame used is a better Idea than Used TT. When I look at these ADC jack fields here, I can't imagine one failing but, I bet they do with lot's and lot's of use. I would like to avoid a burnishing tool if I can and clean with chem's? Also, No brass? use Nickle as it wont tarnish?
I'm a pest sorry, here's some more Q's
I've learned a bit about strain relief in the back of these racks just by doing it some and this will be the neatest install I've done. I'm going to use paper stick-on # labels with clear shrink wrap covering them on BOTH ends.Sooo,,,Do you guys ever put shrink wrap over the solder joint?{terminal?} It seems so unlikely that this would fail and if it did, having wrap on there would be a pain so I'm up in the air on this.
Here's a jpeg of what I mean
Thanks so much for your time.
