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

how can you have "pure" sounf from digital sound processing ? a CD player
is a bad enough abomination of an analouge signal.And dont slag off analouge
sources without analouge sound you could not hear anything.
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.
What would you buy?
