RE: Advice on soldering solid core to stranded.

I had wondered about wrapping vs parallel in terms of the quality of the connection. Parallel is easier to solder and a better solder joint should give a better connection.

Wrong, the first rule of soldering is to make a good mechanical connection first.

The connection should be able to stand alone without solder.

Do not depend on solder to make the connection.
