And many people prefer the "warm", colored, euphonic, "tubey" presentation of Mullard and Brimar tubes over the transparent, uncolored presentation of Telefunken, and Siemens tubes(etc). Yadda, yadda, yadda! Tastes vary, but the laws of conductivity and electron flow don't. Some metals are better with regard to electron flow and some aren't. You can use equipment, cables, tubes, caps, chassis wire, interconnects, and solder as tone controls(to satisfy your particular tastes), or try to find the ones that provide the most transparent(faithful to what's recorded) presentation. Personally, I prefer the latter option. What's "right" to you may(and almost certainly will) vary.
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
