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

I use WBT 0820 for many years and it is superb...

You might look at Johnson Manufacturing Co..They make a tin,silver
and copper ternary eutectic solder called IA-423.
They claim many audiophiles say it is the best solder they have ever heard.

I prefer not to "hear" my solder- Use WBT or Wonder!

WBT is a pleasure to work with. I've tried the Cardas quad eutectic (lead-free) and it's a PITA. Of course WBT is especially nice if you have a temp-controlled soldering station :-)

Another vote for Wonder Solder or WBT. You're on the right track, hard to go wrong with any of these suggestions.
