I was so happy when I found these:

So, they came in, and apparently they use aluminum wire? From the pics I thought they were just pre tinned, but when I cut them shorter the wire was still silver. Whatever it is I had a heck of a time soldering it, having to get stuff much hotter than I was comfortable with.
I guess at this point my options are to get the bare connectors somewhere (haven't found them in this price range though) or to cut the wire very short and solder my own lengths of copper wire to them. I use rosin core solder, but I don't normally use flux. Perhaps that would help?
Otherwise, anyone found connectors they like that will fit through the hole on Download's multisink?
