You might try asking over on Audio Note's kit forum on AA: Audio Note Kits Forum

Hi,
why Audionote's?
Is it Eutectic?
Is it a triple eutectic?
Does it erode copper bits?
Does it corrode PCBs/tracks/components if not washed?

What is special that you require?

If it's lead free, then avoid it.
If it doesn't wet well, then avoid it.
If it needs higher temperatures, then avoid it.

if your chosen solder makes assembly difficult and/or makes the assembled circuit less reliable, then what does the sound quality matter if the equipment cannot play anything due to damaged components/PCB?

tomat, you understand that these guys don't actually make solder, they just take some standard product and mark it up? Lead and tin atoms don't change just because of a name on the box and a fancy price.

If you're soldering copper, a 63/37 eutectic will work perfectly. For silver, a 2% silver solder, ditto. And you can have the satisfaction of knowing that you spent that extra money on something useful, like CDs or hookers.
