Cutting long interconnects and putting on new term

I am doing the same thing, and I recently purchased this wire for 30 foot interconnects, which I intend to terminate with Eichmann bullet plugs.

These should get you started for materials:

The job is not difficult. I do think some sort of stand with mini clamps is necessary to hold the wire and/or connectors in place while being soldered. That's the only difficulty I have.

There's good information here on tools and techniques, with links to tutorials.

I agree with Tvad, beyond the basic soldering pencil and materials, one of the stands with dual, adjustable clamps is the single most important thing to have. I'd suggest buying a few cheap RCA plugs and practicing first before you tackle the expensive ones.

Here is a tip:

Insert the new interconnect plug into an old component input or output jack to hold it in place while soldering. It makes it stable and sinks some of the heat away. An old VCR works well.
