Help with 33 ga Tonearm Wire

Depends on the insulation. Often, the best way to handle this is with a solder pot. Just dip the end in, it will melt the insulation and tin the end. (This will not work with Teflon but it's worth a try otherwise.)

thanks Kal, after posting this thread I also found a procedure written on vinylnirvana.com that used the same Cardas wire I'm using - said to burn it off using a butane lighter. This should be much better than what I was trying. I like your suggestion better because it helps solve my other problem (ie working with the tiny fraying wire) by tinning the end.

thanks again.

I thought a friend told me that Cardas and a typical solder gun wont get along too well, you need a much higher temp....if I recall.
