| I was recently at the local electronics shop and I was trying to buy decent solder and the the only information the salesperson was able to give me was "these ones has lead and these ones doesn't" and there were labels clearly stating the same info...
anyways, I ended up buying this Sn 95.5 / Ag 3.8 / Cu 0.7 solder, mainly because I was confused by incompetent salesperson and I though that the exensive stuff must be good :P
Anyways, I haven't tried this solder out yet, but according to what I've read from this thread this solder will be more difficult to solder because higer temp is needed and the only real benefit from silver is that it contacts better to silvered connectors?
How about resistance? somebody said that silvery solder has less resistance, I was thinking too that high power speakercables would like such solder.
I will be using mostly cheapish Amphenol connector which I find very good in indoor/studio applications. 1/2 of a price of neutriks.
So far I have been making mostly unbalanced / guitar cables with Schulz IK5. Does anyone have any comments about this cable?
