I need to change/upgrade a broken RCA connector on a power amp (an old Hitachi amp, 200 watts/channel). I bought a pair of Cardas gold/rhodium 'short' connectors. Is there anything I should watch out for? Should I use a heat sink before soldering on new connectors? I'm a newbie on things like this, but am pretty handy, and can solder pretty well. There appears to be enough room to fit the new connectors.Thank you!!
