What is the benefit in silver solder? I though 60/40 resin core was recommended for electronics but I hear some like silver. Is it used in the high tech sector, like in satelites or something?

There may be other reasons, but I one I heard is that silver solder sticks better to the silver wires that are so prevalent in "audiophile-grade" equipment. I'm sure silver solder has better conductivity than lead solder, but that's a moot point if components and wires are soldered properly (ie. connections are made through good mechanical connections and does not rely on the solder for conducting signals).
