Thanks for the Cu copper solder info...

Posted by Tweaker456 on March 6, 2016 at 11:30:08

There are two leaded solders I have found or were brought to my attention that are very similar to the Chimera silver free, leaded 1.5% Cu as reported in some ones post. These are Alpha Core 60 38 2% cu found on ebay and Edsyn SS1250 sold at Newark and others, also leaded and 2% cu. Dennis at Chimera and I both avoid silver in solder and interconnects and I feel that it is likely that it sounds better than regular 60/40 for two or three reasons. Dennis's vast experience, and the fact that I like copper. There are reports on the net by others who find that at least some silver solder is bright and or unnatural sounding. I have found that to be true for the original Wonder solder and have no intention of trying to AB a bunch of silver content solders to find one I don't feel is bright or unnatural sounding. YMMV Tweaker
