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

Excellent for Hifi cables

I bought this simply because I had ran out of the solder I was using, and based on the recommendation of a video I had watched on youtube which was a tutorial for soldering techniques. They recommended silver solder with a rosin flux, and this just so happend to be the best price to quantity ratio I found on amazon. I had to fix some bad joints on my guitar, a stratocaster, and got the chance to try this solder out. As many have said, it heats at a lower temperature than lower-grade solder, as well as flows much, much better. If I can help it Ill be purchasing this solder again in the future for my guitar related needs.

I used this Soldering Wire and without any doubt is the best at moment available on the market. Most of people ignore the importance of a good soldering. You may use High Definition Cables, Gold Plated Connectors, etc. but they become useless if you dont connect them in the right way. In my humble opinion the Cardas Soldering Wire simply does not alter/modify the continuity of signal between a cable and a connector or any other component. And in addition it is so easy to use. Even with an economic solder.

This is the best silver solder Ive ever worked with. Normally silver solder is tricky since it doesnt flow or stick as easy as typical lead solder. But this works very nice. I also enjoy the thin size so you can easily position it up and over items. It has an odor to it that is unlike any other solder. Its hard to explain... maybe if you were to mix metal and a strawberry together.

I only use this, put away my wonder solder along time ago, and recently compared them again, with the benefit of experience. Wow. The only solder.

Flows well and nice shiny joints.

Despite some adverse reviews this product has received, I gave it a try. It really is the best industrial solder I have ever used. It creates very clean, strong and shiny soldering points, perfect for audio equipment construction. After measuring mainly resistance results on the conductors, one can see the circuits are never adversely affected. Very easy to use, follows the flux path exactly and leaves no porosity in the bonding points. Excellent!!

Now I have no clue if it really performs better than any other solder but it makes me feel warm and fuzzy knowing I used a fancy name brand. It physically solders very well and even a nonprofessional weekend warrior like myself can make beautiful connections.

Excellent solder - a hidden gem. Proper size (~0.81mm) which is important as anything above 0.8 or so is really pushing it for most electronic work, certainly precision work with audio. Its not the cheapest solder, but its not that expensive considering the quality you get from Cardas. It melts at a very low temperature, which is always good for the longevity of your product/PCB, and it flows beautifully. I did not need to use any extra flux wiring many 24AWG wires and SMD components - the solder provides a clean, smooth flow and the joints come out very nicely. Of course, a proper iron with good tips and technique is essential in soldering, but the Cardas solder provides an easy, efficient, waste-free product for all types of electronic work and certainly in the high end audio sector.

I have used Cardas solder in the past, and reordered a small 10 foot order from you last year. When that ran out I ordered a spool from you. I have come to appreciate the chemistry and how important the eutectic formula is. Cardas is excellent solder. I even use it to flush out the yukky solder from Chinese PCBs during repair. Its like solder lube, makes reworking small parts much easier. I have learned to be more sparing with Cardas. It makes such a good joint I dont need to use as much as I used to use. I have been tempted to try Wonder Solder and others, but I will stay with Cardas until I find a reason to change. I have not tried the lead free Cardas yet.
