I generally have the chassis mount RCA Tomcats and the B11L male RCA available. Additionally, several pairs of Mayflower IC cables, B3 RCA with locking barrels and R9 XLR. The individual R9 XLR connectors are sometimes available when Carmine makes a run and is notified of quantity desired before making a run. All connectors are large, they fit my components. If you’re interested in what Bocchino sounds like I suggest trying a pair of Tomcats. Most of the users are repeat clients replacing other manufacturers’. I describe them as “more” connectors, better extension, harmonics, transparency and phase coherence, musical.
How to re-terminate Valhalla
Hi there. This is my first posting in this forum. I have a pair of 26” RCA terminated Nordost Valhalla IC’s which I would like to re-terminate to XLR. I am planning to do this myself. I like to tinker and am pretty good with a soldering iron. I have removed the RCA sleeves and studied the connections=4 red wires to hot center pin and 4 clear wires to negative pin. The outer shield, far as I can tell, is not connected. My questions is, when I solder to the new XLR connectors, do I solder the 4 red wires to pin 2 (hot) and the 4 clear wires to pin 3 (neutral)? And what do I do with the outer shield? Do I bundle it and wire to pin 1 (ground) or leave it floating? And if I connect ground do I do both ends or just the output end? Thanks in advance for your help.
