"Non Inductive" resistors.

Theaudiotweak...
1. I asked because some people (like you) insist that resistor type affects sound. Although it doesn't make sense to me, I am open minded enough to listen to other points of view. So far I am unconvinced.

2. Please you tell me what constitutes an "Audiophile" resistor, apart from how it is described by the vendor, and the price.

I am not a material engineer. I am a good listener. I am opened minded..I will take chances. I have rebuilt many a speaker..Some of these speakers cost 10k a pair..The single biggest improvement were the replacement of the resistors...Most of these high-end speakers had quality caps and inductors but only five cent resistors..One designer with his name on the grill told me swapping resistors in a AC circuit like a speaker would make no difference..My ears and my eyes told me he was wrong. Swap out the resistors in your throw away speakers live a little learn alot..Please do this in a recordable and repeatable way..What you will experience and learn can be applied over and over again..The North Creeks are really good..Low noise may make the highs sound deficient at first..these babies take 100 hours to break-in..you will have greater definition, blacker backround, much more speed, resulting in better imaging...Tom

Tom...It might take a 10K speaker system, and comparable electronics to hear the difference between resistors! Since I am into the business of installing resistors anyway I just might try an experiment: comparing a 38 cent resistor in one speaker with a $4 resistor in the other. Cheap thrills!

Sorry El, I must have had you confused with another Eldartford who posted a troll looking to see who would respond to a question about the direction that wire was twisted, and a few other such inane questions.

My mistake, but once you have been pegged as one who is trolling bait, it is hard to shake that label.

Hi Eldartford, I did experiment with resistors in the preamp's line section and they did made bigger difference to my ears than caps replacement. I replaced the old A&B carbon resistors with Holoco, Rodenstein ( they were at closeout price from welbornelabs) and Vishay. 20 cents vs the $2 A&B and I prefer the 20 cents resistors more.
