    Thanks for the kind offer Lets see I have to feel confident the amp will deliver sonically I might take you up latter
    So i would also have to factor in cost of good solder iron etc
    I really like the idea of learning about this but as I said I am pretty fussy when it comes to sound

    I think one the 30Watt Antex soldering irons come with a silicon lead for about £25.

    I can’t stress the silicon lead bit enough.
    A ridged lead can make soldering a total pain in the arse because you end up fighting the stiffness of the lead
