solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT??

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to post.
I have ordered a small quantity of the WBT to experiment with.I will be using it to modify the Lineaum LX-10s.Just waiting for the last 4' of OM ribbon and the V-cap .01Uf by-passes to arrive.

WBT is a pleasure to work with. I've tried the Cardas quad eutectic (lead-free) and it's a PITA.

Interesting. I haven't had a problem with it. Maybe I should get some Wonder or WBT to see what I'm missing. FWIW, Cardas Tri-Eutectic is silver bearing: tin/silver/copper.

I'm quite interested in this thread, and hope that people will offer some insight as to some specifics of each solder they have tried, from a sonic perspective.

Personally, I have a friend that has tried a lot of solders over the past 20 years, and about 2 years ago returned to the tried and true Kester 60/40 lead/tin solder. His rationale - yes, the silver bearing and lead free solders offer what most listeners discern as additional detail and clarity, but at the expense of naturalness and musicality.

I have no idea if his assertion (and, Goldmund's) is correct, but always try to keep an open mind. Maybe one day, after I get done tube rolling, then fuse rolling, and cable rolling, I'll take up a project for solder rolling...

the old solder was made more for the "bigger" (tube amp,etc.),older parts...you have hard time to do "tiny" work with it.It sounds a bit better, but the WBT is a good compromise and is super to work with!
