Cardas Soldering Wire Quad Eutectic Silver Solder with rosin flux 1/4 lbs (113g) roll

Just did an Elekit single ended tube amp kit. Used Kester for the structural solder. But I sprung for the best for any joints in the signal path. This stuff is great to work with. Do you really want to wonder What if?, Nah, just use the good stuff for your music, you deserve it.

I have probably soldered close to 1,000,000 electronic circuits and tens of thousands of custom fabricated hobby craft joints in my life. The reliable old 60-40 solder served me well on electronic circuits and then the stronger silver-content solder worked well for craft work. But the silver solder I used for craft work was very high heat and if I tried using it on electronic circuits it more often than not destroyed the delicate copper traces on expensive circuit boards. The Cardas product is a quality silver-based solder that melts at far more reasonable - although still quite high - temperature and provides stronger and IMHO better sounding connection than 60-40 solder does. Simply re-sweating any existing soldered electronic joint may yield audible improvements providing that the components being soldered can tolerate this higher heat [i.e., used with caution on temperature-sensitive and surface-mount devices]. Will this ALWAYS make things sound better? Probably not. But heres the way I look at it. Eliminating problems in the long audio chain between the signal source and your ears is a tedious process. If you have a particular piece of gear already in pieces on your bench, why not eliminate a potentially weak-ink in the audio chain by using better solder? The cost is small and the return could be large. If you always do what youve done, you will always get what you got. If you want something different, then you must try something new. Give this a try; Im pretty sure that it will surprise you.

Easy to use solid connection easy to melt silver solder

As I expected. Very little silver content. This explains why the dont list it. And the rosin core stinks.

I wanted to try an actual silver solder but have always heard they were difficult to work with. Not so for this one, although I am using an X-Tronic work station, not a pen type iron, so at 75 watts it has headroom. I cant tell the difference between this and the Wonder Signature I normally use.

The best solder available.

I have used a variety of solders over the years. Problems using the wrong solder can include the following: poor connections and brittleness, difficulty with heating the solder to the right temperature, especially if it contains the wrong combination of ingredients... which many do for the average user. This Eutectic Cardas solder melts fast, heats well, gives you nice connections... its just easy to use and very effective: Yes it costs more, but its soooo well worth it! Sheerness? What are they asking you to say here? I dont know.

Very high quality solder.

By far the best electronic solder on the planet! I will never purchase anything but this solder for PCB boards! It’s makes the job not only easier but enjoyable. I would recommend it to anyone. When my roll starts to get low I will be purchasing another.

I wish it was scented with cinnamon or candy apple. It would smell so good.
