Best Solder??


I need to replace some speaker terminals. Can anyone suggest a solder type and/or brand? Thanks

I have worked with lots of solders including wonder WBT , Eichmanns 5% .the Johnsons is 6%
but I feel they Mundorf Supreme 5% Slver and Gold solder
gives the most natural sounding balance.
If a proper mechanical connection is made, does the solder really make that much of a difference?
Tpreaves: dont feel bad, I'm still trying to figure out why it's not spelled sodder.
Rja,
I would be careful with some of the "audiophile" solders. Some have pretty corrosive flux in them. IF you dont clean it all off, will eventually attack the joint.

In one of our audio club meetings, we had one demo where we tried different solders. They do make a very big difference, bigger than I would have thought. The other thing is you need to have a good mechanical connection over time.

we ended up picking Kester 63/37 with a 285 flux as the preferred choice. 63/37 is also eutectic, which most others are not.
