I have some Wonder Solder older than the hills. Not bad. Didn't realize the formulation was changed.

I have a roll of WBT if you want it. It is one of those lead-free silvers that I don't like. (I do like WBT's RCA connectors.) I of course have numerous variants of Kester, Ersin (the Savbit would be excellent if the formulation was tweaked a little), and Johnson Mfg.. I never tried the Siltech or Cardas, mainly because either has elicited a consistent preference versus the WBT. (Kester could make its own version of the IA-423 ternary, with the "44" core, which would probably be **the** best formulation, but at over $100 per one pound roll and a 5-pound minimum order...)

And oh yeah, I have some Audio Note stuff. Before the Kester, the AN and the Johnson IA-423 Ternary were my faves. (The AN sounds very similar to the Kester "44" Sn62Pb36Ag02 solder. But the Kester is a lot less expensive...) But neither motivated me to post a "solder" review...
