All the wiring and control pods in my amp are very high grade
oxygen-free copper with silver solder


Don't know anything about wiring or electronics, but do know something
about jewelry. Silver solder, to me, means blowtorches and brazing
temperatures ie red-hot metal. What does it mean in this context?

Tin-lead solder with a few percent of silver. I believe the silver was
originally added to reduce erosion of silver plating during soldering. Since
then all sorts of ignorant snake-oil claims have been made about it.
