i have tried many of the current solders mentioned above. One summer after moving to Forida, bored with nothing but time I decided to listen to solder. My conclusions were. WBT, while very easy to work with, added a sheen or brightness to the music. If you listen to their RCA plugs they do the opposite so the solder complimments thier plugs well. When wanting to liven things up a bit I choose WBT. Copper based solder sold by Chimera labs is very good but must be sealed with clean teflon nail polish to prevent corrosion. Cardas is very good but adds a bit of metallic sound to the highs. Very, very slight mind you, but there. Wonder Ultraclear seemed to have the least sonic effect on the sound. ALthough at first listen the Ultraclear sounds muffled slightly. It opens up to give really no signature at all. My conclusion was that the Ultraclear is for someone that wants to hear nothing at all and the WBT is for someone who wants additional life in their system. These experiments took me 1 year to complete. Should probably find something more constructive to do with my time!
solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT??
Just ran out of solder and was wondering what to purchase as a replacement.I understand the Mundorf is highly recommended,but would prefer to stay in the "modest" camp.
I have a few projects that I am working on and the last of the parts will arrive later this week.
Prefer one that will not add brightness and those that do not contain any gold,as I don't like the sonic flavor.
Thanks in advance,Tom
