Source for resistors for an acoustech/sutherland phono preamp

     Plus a BIG ONE for ordering from Michael Percy AND, "high quality"!

     For a pittance: he was matching components to within 1% tolerance for me.

     Began our transactions 20+ years ago and never a moment's disappointment.

Vishay metal foil are the resistors of choice for cartridge loading, or at least they were last time I paid any attention. I do think though that getting VTA and VTF tuned in properly with a shibata stylus should be your first priority. I assume it’s a 2M black and not a quintet or cadenza, there’s more at stake with resistive loading of a moving coil.

Nude Vishays took over from the ones that are potted. These days Texas Instruments is the US source for what look like nude Vishay, series TX2575, at about $12 each. Caddock TF020 from M Percy sound just as good for more like $5 each, but the form factor can be a little tricky to install. My opinions of course.

I just reached out to Michael Percy regarding some high quality 47k, 100K, 100R, 1000R rca plugs for my JLTI that I'm finally using after 3 years. It had a terrible hiss, so I put it in the closet. Recently Chakster helped me get the Luxmann up with arms and carts, JLTI is loaded and sounds great. No hissing. Still need those MM plugs!

How is Chakster?
