yikes, I have not even heard of Metcal soldering equipment before. Sounds pretty expensive. Personally I can get by with my ancient Weller D550 gun for really heavy things (not too much in the audio department) and an equally ancient (but well maintained) American Beauty pencil. I have other soldering guns etc, floating around but these 2 have always done the job just right. I have worked in the electronics industry, and we used Hakko soldering stations. They were certainly nice, but expensive. Good luck and buy the best you can afford. (but take the amount of soldering you do into consideration) Doug E.
