how can you have "pure" sounf from digital sound processing ? a CD player

Shame that it is routinely recorded and editied in the digital domain these days
then ?

Everything you buy as CD or vinyl was processed by record companies whose
equipment preferences may not match your own. You can't bypass that option.

Careful - there are people who claim to tell the difference in solder.

"The standard leaded Kester (Sn63/Pb37 Product 24-6337-0027 .031 22swg or
Sn62/Pb36/Ag02) with the "44" core sounds good too, but with a slight loss of
resolution compared to the Kester SN95. My favorite solder with the "44" core
is Kester's Sn95/Ag05 lead free silver solder. My favorite solder with the
IA-423 is Johnson's OR-120 organic core version. (Their "rosin" version is
awful, BTW.) Most other solders create a "brittle" or bright sound because most
rosins perform poorly in regard to high-fidelity interface. If the system is
slightly bright, the Kester I mentioned will warm it up a tad. If the system is
either warm or accurate, I'd go with the IA-423 Organic Core"

So what's your take on the looming requirement to go 'lead free' in electronics.

Do you prefer your lead free solder to contain silver or just copper ?

For flow-solder processing is it OK to use no-clean flux ?

I was just quoting somebody who 'hears' different solders - I have no
particular expertise in solder. Having said that - does anyone know where to
get decent solder in the UK? I just use 60/40 Andy

Provided you have a decent mechanical contact between the parts before
soldering, ordinary electronic multicore will be fine. If there is a large
gap between the conductors which you fill with solder, I dunno. But that's
bad practice anyway.

I was just being silly - but wth.

What's indecent about 60/40 solder ?
