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.

i do.
to me they are very datailed but with harsh sound....like some caddok
;) 
IMHO
audio4pass... how about the new Caddock Mp or Mm series.  From what people tell me it’s better than the Vishay Nude Bulk Foil.  What’s your opinion? 
Anyone tried new Mundorf top dog film resistor M-Resist Ultra?

Somtime eraly next year I plan to have madisound build new xovers for my Seas Thors , using M caps and these new M Resist in the  design. 
Will posta  comment on howwell t the xovers perform. As a  note,, just had my Defy7 modded , tech suggested using Carbon film resistors , taking out the old metal res(maybe takman),,,immediaetly i called him, and suggested we take out the carbon and use the Takman metal we ordered and were sitting in his shop..That old Jadis sound  returned. 
The carbon were smooth, but lacked that sparkle in the metal res,,,the Jadis engineers employed Metal for that reason. The Metal seem to breath life into the soundstage. 
The Carbon are too smooth, that is lacks dynamics, Some may perfer that smoothness, and perhaps in some tube amps thats a good thing taking the edges off some of the spikey midrange. 
Jadis makes a  smooth  circuitry, so carbon are not needed.

i tried MP-915 12W 1%, they are very detailed but unnatural too compressed and with closed ambience effect.
are good if you have a very dull system.

never tried Vishay Nude Bulk Foil, probably caddock are real better, but in general i don’t like in crossover foil resistors.
i prefer much foil resistor in electronics.

i agree with you on the assessment.  My friend bought nude foil for his Wilson Grand Slams speakers, it was just too much for his ears.  It was just too revealing for the Titanium tweeter.  I notice some of my equipments, the Nude Foil z series is very nice, super expensive especially the customized and low tolerance.   Looking to upgrade my Atmasphere preamp with Caddock resistors.   Thanks!
