Make sure you use solder made for electronics, namely rosin-core solder. Don't use acid core solder - that's for plumbing.
Soldering 101 for Audiophiles
I am replacing the tweeters in my Tympanis with new ribbons which I have just received from Magnepan.
Unscrewing all of the screws, it seems they are connected at the top and the bottom with a soldered connection?
I have a cheapo pencil shaped soldering iron from Radio Shack around the garage but otherwise havent soldered anything since I tried to put together a Hafler amplifier in 1979 and ended up paying someone else to do it.
Can anyone please explain:
* basic soldering technique
* what materials do I need for the best audiophile connnecton? Silver?
Thank you,
