If you are making RCA cables with coax, you should seriously consider
using compression-type RCA terminations. Only cutting and crimping is
required. IME they are highly reliable.

Now finding such a technically advanced product in the UK seems less
than trivial. Neither Maplin nor Farnell seem to list them.

Crimping is by far the best method of making a connection - assuming that
connection will get flexed and you crimp it correctly. Which means having
the correct crimp tool. Which are usually costly. For something like
phonos which aren't designed to be regularly removed and replaced a
soldered connection with decent strain relief will be fine. After all
pretty well every other 'connection' in your system will be soldered.
