Best resistors for use in phono stage?

It wondering if there's a better SQ resistor for this purpose? My new to me phone stage has a slot to try custom values. I need 380 and or 390 ohm. Thanks for the help.

IE: cartridge performance? To an extent what is going to ground is pulling down the signal that to going to the phono stage. So it doesn’t matter if it is in series or shunting, if the resistor were a flickering switch you still get flicking levels coming out of the phono stage.
