Crimp connectors as IDC ?



Is it acceptable practice?
Kustom KPM6160A mixer amp from 1997 with intermittant crackles and sometimes
loss of sound, waggling the interboard ribbon leads produces these symptoms.

The .156in spacing Harwin/Molex/ Amp/Tyco connectors for power are fine , 2
sets of crimp pairs , one crimped around the conductors and one crimped
around the sleeving.
But the .1 ins spacing ones have single crimp pairs which are crimped around
unstripped insulation and relying on the returned ends piercing through the
insulation into the conductors.
