I would be grateful if
someone would explain to me why soldered cable ends are a bad thing.
I seem to remember it only being usual to 'tin' stranded cable, not
solid core, also that tightening a tinned cable in a screw-connector
could tend to make the solder dry or crystalline, possibly giving high
resistance (and therefore heating) or even sometimes forming a partial
diode?
