NF-Silver Cable soldering

Post by Lingomatik »

Does anyone have experience with soldering the ground wire on the NF SilverCables?
I'm not sure which was the best-sounding version.
One or two solder points per connector? Ground at one end of the cable, double ground at the other end?
I got an Urika today, have to solder cables.
See photos.

I cant help with „what is the most musical solution“ but my T-Cable is soldered left and right side of the connector but all my Linn Silver Interconnects only on one side of the connector. The Ground need to be soldered on both sides of the ends of the cable (source side and other side)

… its difficult enough to get it soldered at the connector anyway thats why I wouldn’t worry to solder it left and right (the connector has a high mass which warms up slow)

Of course, the double soldering point increases the contact area of the ground. However, I do not know to what extent it is an improvement.

I always soldered my Silvers with the ground wires at one point, also did not cut off any of the ground wires to get less material to solder.
Never used the Linn RCAs but Neutrik RCAs which are much easier to solder.

🟠 Vertere has one solder point on one side,.and double solder points on the other side of its rca-cables.

This is from their D-FI rca-cable
