I'm quite interested in this thread, and hope that people will offer some insight as to some specifics of each solder they have tried, from a sonic perspective.
Personally, I have a friend that has tried a lot of solders over the past 20 years, and about 2 years ago returned to the tried and true Kester 60/40 lead/tin solder. His rationale - yes, the silver bearing and lead free solders offer what most listeners discern as additional detail and clarity, but at the expense of naturalness and musicality.
I have no idea if his assertion (and, Goldmund's) is correct, but always try to keep an open mind. Maybe one day, after I get done tube rolling, then fuse rolling, and cable rolling, I'll take up a project for solder rolling...
