Audioquest Diamondback Connector Swap for Cardas SRCA

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

I have 4 runs of 1.5 meter AudioQuest Diamondback RCA Interconnects. I must shorten the runs to .5 meters. I have ordered the Cardas SRCA plugs and have on hand WBT Silver Solder.
It has been years since I have done anything like this. Has anyone had any experience with this procedure?
The AQ Diamondback cables have a lot more wires within than I expected - including a drain wire...which I admit my ignorance as to what that is.
ALSO, the AQ literature states that the shield is only attached "at one end, providing total shield coverage without compromising the negative conducting path." Whatever that means.
Any help whatsoever would be deeply appreciated. Or, if you know a link that addresses this issue.
