    When dealing with enamel coated wire, I've always found it is easiest to just burn the enamel off the end with a lighter... then gently sand the burned area to expose bare copper. Of course if the wire is too fine, you might melt it by accident.

    and given the wire is the thinnest I have ever worked with ( and makes the wire in coil microphones look large in comparison), the flame method was eliminated, and was even concerned about the heat gain from the 20w soldering iron that I use for board repair
