I think about changing the solder in my Rs150 AKM to a more musical one. Anyone did it before?

Man, I’m just as crazy as you, I’ve done a lot of comparisons between solder alloys. Go to Audio Note solder and then write to me. Good luck!
If power cables make a sonic difference, then solder must have the same effect 
Silver solder 95.6Sn3.5Ag0.9Cu , just like 63/37 tin/lead, is eutectic. And that is very desirable when soldering.
I have 4 vintage Revox/Studer devices awaiting a complete restauration, so no one worry about me resoldering my RS150 
Andre,
Did you use leaded solder in a closed room w no air flow?
