As a "personal choice", my hands are no longer steady enough to prevent
getting solder on the outside of the center pin so I'm relegated to using
the crimp type although I'd not seen any for the DIN. I would add that I can
now hold the solder with my left hand if a lot of movement isn't required.
I "would think" if the commercial guys are using crimp, it should be
reliable enough.
