| I am using Multicore Sn-Pb-Ag LMP solder,0.71mm , RS Stock no. 551-671, it's eutectic and low melting point and has silver in it. Costs are £26.95 + vat for a 500 gram reel (way too much solder but it will last me forever). Soldering Gotham cable to Switchcraft plugs and M&M patchbay.
Doing fine with this solder, LMP means no burnt cable insulation, eutectic means it snaps from liquid to solid, silver means I don't worry about any supposed sound difference (maybe it is more durable as well? ). Non-ROHS means I don't worry about tin whiskers etc. It will be maybe 5 or 10 years before I would move to non-lead solder, lets see how things pan out. |
