AN Niobium versus Tantalum resistors?

Thanks. Didnt quite find anything comparing their sounds, but good info none the less. If the Niobium are being integrated to their higher end systems, sounds like they are a full evolution to the tants. In particular, I’m looking for more lower end weight and fuller musical information over my Takman metal.

And sounds like the silver AN resistors are more picky about placement, which makes sense but I don't go down the road of silver in my system.

Takman metal film are the best value for money out there. Shinkohs do not sound better in all locations.

Niobium prices set new standards for resistors…..ouch….

Don't know about the AN Niobium but the Takman carbon film should give you what you're looking for. Recently put some in signal path of my Coincident Statement pre, looking for that exact fuller musical presentation you're looking for, they did the job. I wasn't looking for more lower end weight specifically, didn't notice a lot of change here.  BTW, AN parts are nice, added two Seiryu caps at same time as Takman, replaced Nichicon FG, very nice. I've used the Kaisei caps in past also very nice.

Should have mentioned the Takman CF replaced generic metal oxides.
