Top resistors


Many threads with opinions on boutique coupling capacitors, but very little consolidated information on the sonics of resistors. Anyone care to share their thoughts on the attributes of their favorite brands & types for specific tube and SS applications? How much of a difference does a good resistor make?

My interest in the topic increased after recently installing the latest Texas Components nude Vishay TX2575 in several SS and tube phono & LS components. This was a proverbial "Ah-ha" moment-- a stray resistor dropped into signal path here or there, surprising with an improvement that equalled or surpassed the impact of a switch to a top coupling cap like V-Cap or Mundorf.

Pathaudio the best balance but over $27 each
the Mills mt12 I never have foundthem lean sounding after 75 hours 
with these Ar perry non. Inductive windings and special ceramic mix take time settling in .ido like the the fact silverplatedcaps, and leads Tinned Copper.sonicly 
mundorf Supreme mresist use nickel over copper then rivet leads, a bit harsh
i had to cut off and resolder with Neotech wire  much better balanced sound.
for the buck Millls mr12  a much trustedresistor at $4  ,if you  can’t afford the 
path Audio ,and don’t want to modify the legs on the big Mundorfs $16 each
same goes for the ohmlite gold with the rivets  very good but get rid ofthe rivets.
to get the most out of them.
Gents,
where can I buy Mills 5.1Ohm  MRA12 resistors in the lower 48 states? Only see MRA10. 
Much appreciated!
