The Goldmund Lineal Interconnect redesigned for Mechanical Strength
If you are using our Lineal Interconnect cable (the Goldmund analogue interconnect) you probably love it enough to treat it with care. However, in very severe stress circumstances, it may occur that one of the connection inside a plug breaks. The cable center conductor is extremely fragile and if the wire is pulled without care or twisted too aggressively, such accident arrives. With an ordinary Interconnect, you could resolder it and take more care the next time. Nobody would have ever heard about it. But the Goldmund cables are not conventionally soldered. The bonding technology used requires a great deal of equipment and skill, and the interconnects can only be repaired by the factory.
Seeing the accident too frequently, we have decided to upgrade the plug secure attachement to avoid the accident to occur. This new assembly improvement is available on all Goldmund Interconnects delivered from now on.
