hmmm sound good ,i'm interest to try that TX2575 ,anyone can inform me where's to buy ,and also anyone have the opinion about tantalum resistor ?,such shinkoh or audionote resistor
thanks
thanks
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 don't think Michael Percy sells TX resistors. I asked recently and he said no. You can buy direct from the manufacturer: http://www.texascomponents.com resistorinfo@texascomponents.com 713-468-3882 It's a small company with helpful and friendly staff that actually answer the phone. It's a pleasure doing business with them. |
The top vishays are the S102 and the VSR. They are measureably quieter than anything else out there, and have an openness to the sound. If you install Vishays and your piece now sounds bright, the brightness is due to something else; not the vishays. I have been using Vishay bulk foil for over 12 years. They make a huge sonic improvement in any piece I Have installed them in. |
