Help with 33 ga Tonearm Wire

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.

thanks Chad, I've had some trouble getting the solder to flow on the wire . . . perhaps that's the solution. I think I'll experiment a little with different temp settings.

Is this the Litz wire? I re-wired an arm once with that and found that I got pretty good results by burning the insulation off (40 watt iron) and then applying a generous amount of flux to the end of the wire before tinning. I also used an alligator clip on the wire as a heat sink to help prevent the heat from traveling.

No problen Bd, glad I may have helped.

Dan-ed, yes, it's the Cardas Litz wire. What flux did you use, and where did you get it? I have some stuff I use for copper plumping, but gee . . . something about that doesn't seem right.

thanks, Brad G.
