And what pray is wrong with silver solder? Of course, I hope you don't
mean brazing sticks, which are used for 'soldering' silver and brass,
but proper 'audiophile' eutectic alloy containg 2% silver. :-)

I would
(if I may) suggest the best way forward is for the relatively few 'valvies'
here to avoid the contention and simply ignore 'anti valve' remarks. (There
are a good number here who already do just that - me included, normally!) It
certainly doesn't do much good to make a fuss about it if you are going to
be ****ed off by the reactions you get!

It should be noted that it was that ignorant **** Andy Evans who
*started* all this valve crap, not anyone who might be described as
'anti-valve'. This should be obvious from the contentious thread
titles, which were an invitation to rebuttal.
