The stuff I use is lead-free. It was on special offer so hardly more
expensive than 60/40. It contains some small amount of silver (10%). I
quite like using it - Lead free has a lower melting point, so easier to
do large joints without a high power iron.

Although lead free is common for mechanical soldering - like copper tube -
I understood the need for it was giving the electronics industry real
headaches. ;-)

The Audigy may be suitable for your needs, and includes a lot of
features useful to the general user and gamer. For musicians, it's
off the bottom of the scale. What 's your intended use?

Based on your question of the distortion, you want to make music with it...
Go for the M-audio Audiophile 24/96, highly spec'd and even cheaper than the
audigy.
Check on-line reviews for it or www.m-audio.com

Have you tried an Audigy with the project kx drivers ? Very powerful! The
interface can be difficult but that kinda comes with the power

For a start it improves overall THD etc by reversing front and rear
outputs. ATM I'm experimenting with bi-amping by sending low frequencies of
a stereo source to the 'front' output and high to the 'back', with
interesting results.
