Should have mentioned the Takman CF replaced generic metal oxides.

Don't know about the AN Niobium but the Takman carbon film should give you what you're looking for. Recently put some in signal path of my Coincident Statement pre, looking for that exact fuller musical presentation you're looking for, they did the job. I wasn't looking for more lower end weight specifically, didn't notice a lot of change here. BTW, AN parts are nice, added two Seiryu caps at same time as Takman, replaced Nichicon FG, very nice. I've used the Kaisei caps in past also very nice. |
Takman's take on induced noise makes sense with the naked Vishay, but then, induced noise would predict lower transparency, resolution. I believe pretty universal experience TX2575 highest resolving, transparent resistor. Issue with these, wattage and lack of flavor, as previously noted these won't supply your needs.
In any case I'd like to hear your impressions of these resistors if you decide to try. |
@pesky_wabbit I very much doubt the Z foils will deliver what OP desires in this particular case, reason I suggested Takman carbon films over Z foil. And my suggestions not based on pure speculation as you speculate in regard to my experience. I have in fact been using the Z foils for years, many in my Merlin BAM, in previous dac, in former phono stage, in Art Audio Carissa Sig, in my present 300B monoblocks. So, plenty of experience, again, I doubt these will give OP what he desires. Also, wattage will be of concern, TX2575 just over 1/4 watt, yes, you can stack for greater wattage capability. In the end I believe OP is on correct path, he's done due diligence here. |
