I am curious:
What in the original post indicated that I don't know how to solder?
This is what I said:
"As I was soldering the braid to the body of the connoctor, I noticed that it took forever for the solder to stick to the metal body; so I turned up the temperature on the solder station from 750 degrees F to 800 dagrees F. But it still took long to make the solder connection."
This means that the metal casing does not conduct heat very well and takes longer to heat up, unlike copper. That's all. After applying more heat the silver solder flowed and I was able to get the job done. And by the way, these cables are sounding great but still have a long way to go for burning in.
