Wire – stripping / tinning

When it comes to wires, we use typically 18gauge (thicker) and 22 gauge in the kits. Its PTFE

Teflon silver plated copper wire, but in some other kits, we will use a solid silver wire. Basically

this is classed as Hook up wire, we typically twist wire for you when it needs to be. The other

wire we use would be called shielded cable like an AN-A (AudioNote) or AN-V. This is where you

have two conductors for signal and then a big ground braid wrapped around; this is called

shielding and allows the cable to not pick up noise. You should practice stripping some 18g or

22g wire and then try TINNING this wire; this is the process of adding solder to the bare wire so

that the invisible coating on the wire can be burned off and then allows for easy soldering to a

PCB or an RCA or a transformer terminal. So it is a good idea to practice this a little before

starting on the kit.
Tool: Wire strippers & solder

5.3

Ohm Meter / Resistors

Using the ohm setting on your multimeter is VERY useful when building a kit. First of all, you can

measure resistors (much easier than reading the color codes on the side), the color codes with

practice can also be a good way but the multimeter in OHM mode is the fastest way for a new

builder (and an experienced one).
Tool: Multimeter

5.4

Soldering

We suggest you practice your soldering before embarking on the kit, feel free to request

practice parts with your kit so that you can practice TINNING wires and making nice solder

joints. The key is a reasonable soldering station with sponge, the right temperature, and a good

size tip. Also, tips can wear out so make sure your tip is working. Check out YouTube videos for

soldering examples. The solder should flow freely, if it’s forming balls then there is a problem

with the tip or the temperature or sometimes the surface. Feel free to contact us for HELP!!

5.5

Capacitor Orientation

Any audio circuit is going to be composed of resistors and capacitors. For those who have not

built before, here is a little lesson on capacitors. There are basically two types of capacitors that

we use in the kits, Electrolytic capacitors with PLUS and NEGATIVE side and typically have

values of 100uf 450v, 10uf 160v, or 470uf 35v. These caps have a stripe down one side and that
