60/40 solder ok for preamp circuit boards?

Yup, 60/40 rosin core is pretty much a standard. . .

And it is so easy to solder with using a bog standard iron. Avoid lead free solder if possible. Yeah I know, RoHS and all that jazz...

Can you get the 60/40 solder anymore? A few years ago (funny, my phone suggested “tears” instead of “tears” and I almost went with it), I bought 15 rolls of 60/40, anticipating it being unavailable. I recently bought a roll of the lead-free stuff and threw it in the garbage not long after. I still have most of the 60/40 on hand.

Absolutely you can!
