Resistors

Resistors definitely do make a difference. However, once you make the move from five for a dollar to the good ones then you are in the same boat with resistors as amps, speakers, cables, etc. In other words its a personal taste call. My suggestion would be buy one of each, find a place you can swap, and compare. Probably they will be different enough to hear but only in direct head to head. The only way to know for sure though is to compare.

The difference can only be heard if the values are different. What value are you using?

This was *not* my experience.

Experience matters, as does aural acuity. Sadly; the lack of either or both, rears it’s ugly head, quite often(and so obviously), in these threads.

aural acuity is not the issue. The issue is lack of evidence. If you were blindfolded, could you identify which resistor was which 100% of the time?
