Hi,
I got the spare connections for my Hifiman headphones and I was wondering how people were terminating the ground wire on these plugs?
Soldering the inner hot wire is obvious, but the outer ground connection is not.
Do you simply force the sleeve over the connection and pinch the wire in place, or is there some way that this can be soldered? (Which is what I would prefer)
In my case it will be a little more challenging because I'm using enameled wire that has to be tinned before use, which makes the wire stiff.
