"Non Inductive" resistors.

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.

Remember it ain't just the price it is the material makeup. Material makeup and manufacturer make the difference in caps as well..Same with wire. Oh, and all, can hear a difference in a 3 hundred dollar speaker, have replaced many in this price of speaker.Tom

Herman...I confess, that was me about the wire twisting. It was indeed an "inane" question, and intended as such, but only a slight extension of some ideas put forth here. (eg: wires on Dixie cups). Let's not take ourselves too seriously.

This question about non inductive resistors is for real. As Tom suggests (and because the cost is trivial) I will do a tradeoff between resistor types.

PS...I just saw the posting about the sound of Alnico magnets. That's as good or better than my wire twisting thing.
