It sounds like you have found a good solution.
One thing to watch is the possibility of cold solder joints.
If you are very experienced at soldering, I am sure you made sure to have very good flow in each soldered connection.
If your soldering skills are not commercial-grade, you should have a professional inspect all of your soldering for any possible defects that could cause intermittent connections in the future.
That is a large number of soldered connections.
Soldered connections that did not get hot enough will have a beaded-up or "round" appearance. They may need resoldering.
Thanks for the informative pointers. Yes, I'm quite sure my soldering skill are no where near commercial grade. We'll just have to see how things hold up. But as I got the hang of it I was feeling better about all of my joints and was definitely getting the hang of making sure sufficient heat was getting into the entire joint. In the mean time I am thoroughly enjoying the system and find the sound quality very compelling!
