I recently ordered this one for about $14 on sale, advertised as 9999 count. The actual item I received is a 5999 count; I complained, and they reimbursed $5 in "points". No more complain
. Accuracy is about 0.01% in DCV, checked against a AD584K voltage reference.
I am thrilled, THRILLED, with my recently purchased Hakko FR-301 (amazon sales link). Add a cheap overseas hot air station and you've got the complete package.
You'd be surprised how tough these el cheapo's can be. The one pictured has been with me for field use for well over 30 years, so beating your criterium by at least 10 years

I detect an unusual trace of rationality here; by its nature, powdered iron cores have low lower permeability and higher saturation compared to ferrites. Which could mean that your bad experience with ferrites was due to improper use, leading to saturation.
As usual, bad engineering can have a sound impact, there was never a doubt about.
Hollow needles desoldering tool work really well.
Solid Rosin Welding Soldering Flux works well.

BS, my objections with ferrites is with standard clamp-on split core ferrite filters as applied to standard power cables etc.
This is not my engineering.

That’s actually the one I was looking at.......I figure if I’m gonna do this I might as well do it right!

lol......yah, I’m sure there’s exceptions to the rule, but it’s usually bit me in the rear end everytime I try to save money with budget tools......as in I usually end up buying a better one anyway. I’m fairly certain my entrance into this aspect of the hobby is not just a whim......it seems like something my arthritic *** could do into old age!
I see you got energized in the last couple of days, due to the rather slow feedback from the members in the rational group. Which are probably bored to death of your nonsense and lack of elementary understanding of what's happening inside those cases and your passion for inventing your own private physics.
These reactions (or lack, thereof) should not be considered, by any means, a license to perpetrate your usual pataphysics nonsense and promoting your Goop and so-called "knowledge" or "experience". You are still the same sad character that is desperately trying to push your crap down the throat of whoever is willing/happens to listen to your stories.
Indeed, not your engineering. Engineering is something you are totally parallel with.
One issue might be related to something like AD797 in the context of ESS 'hump' distortion removal. ESS has switched to using OPA1612 instead. ESS THD ‘Hump’ Investigation | Page 14 | Audio Science Review (ASR) Forum

I use solder 99.3%Tin/0.7%Copper as it is a common alloy and I reckon it sounds good, the Parasound should be lead free from factory I expect, make sure to keep all traces of lead totally outside of that box is a primary advice.

Does anyone know if the Sn62/Pb36/Ag02 from American Iron and Metal Inc. (AIM) is any good?
I've been using the same from Multicore for ages, but nowadays, it seems only Farnell carries them.
