Quite often I realise I don't have much of a clue either! What I do have is curiosity and a strong desire to dabble... and fix mistakes!

What soldering kit do you have, and for audio, what solder do you suggest is best?

What soldering kit do you have, and for audio, what solder do you suggest is best?

I've got a 25W antex which is good but woefully underpowered. I'm currently looking at a 70W Hakko solder Station- buy its frighteningly expensive at nearly 200. I found one on amazon for 130 but am afraid it's a fake.

Silver solder (can't remember the % loading when i bought a lifetime's supply) is essential when solderingvany wire with silver in it, else silver will migrate and cause embrittlememt over time. Unleaded solder is pants. It's in the bin.

Steel structures and what appears an annotated design sheet atop. Structural engineer is my guess. High rise builds etc.
