I Wonder won't solder's decrease connection quality or increase the cables resistance,or is there a special type for high-end connections ?!
Second the Kester 63/37. With "44" flux.

I guess gold & silver has to be the best materials but it has to be extremely expensive
Not necessarily.
Soldering is about making the best possible physical joint. You need something with a good melting point and that flows well to make a permanent, physical connection.
Don't anthropomorphize materials with the magical thinking you often find in audio. People often assume that price plus jewelry-factor equals the best result. It doesn't work that way.
I use 60/40 from Kester or Radio Shack. Easy to work and makes excellent, shiny joints. 63/37 is good, too.
