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

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.

How about the lead free solder? Because of the RoHS legislation manufacturers in Europe are forced to abandon the "old" solder. I hear different opinions regardiong lead free solder: some say that it is in fact better than conventional solder, some say it is inferior. What is the truth?
