Hi,

just bought some vdH CS-122 Hybrid speaker cable but now I wonder
how to connect the cable to the spades?
-should I solder only the metal conductors?
-solder both metal and carbon?
-crimp both?
-crimp only he metal?

Does anyone know about connecting this kind of cable the right way?

Swap it for some 12AWG zipcord, which will sound exactly the same, and
will be vastly easier to terminate.

If you really must use that abortion of a cable, then crimp the whole
thing.
