Top resistors

Clabe,
Hopefully you received my email; feel free to reply directly if you want more details.

Today I replaced one resistor in my Starsound amps. I swapped out the parasitic resistor tied to the small air core inductor that goes to a speaker output. The resistors that were in there were North Creek/Ohmite non inductive wire wounds considered one of the very best of this type and for this application. I replaced this resistor with the same value and wattage Duelund. The difference was apparent with one amp playing while hooking up the other. In my office now listening to music from the other room the sound is much more life like and resolute even at moderate levels. More punch more extension detail and transparency. I thought there would be a subtle difference that would carry thru further when I revise my speaker crossovers and their four resistor values..Lets see 4 times the difference I am hearing now with the subsitution of just one would make for a huge difference. I'm glad I already have the Duelund replacements on the way. Again as a replacement for the North Creek/Ohmites in my speakers. Tom

I've ordered Duelund R to replace stock Caddock MP820/1 metal film in xover of Merlin VSM-MX, and will have results in 3-4 weeks.

Hi Dgarretson!
Thanks,looking forward.
You´ve propably e-mailed to my address at work which is fine. I also have a home address e-mail: claes-goran.berg@compaqnet.se
I´m shure you wan´t be dissapointed with your Duelund resistors.
Good luck and enjoy music!

"Of the lot that I tried, I rank Russian 6N8S tops, followed closely by Raytheon GT, followed by EH. "

Is it common consensus in audigon?
I've read from some other forums that Russian made 6N8S tubes are not as good as US made 6SN7 family tubes.
This link may help further understand 6SN7.
