Best resistors for use in phono stage?


It wondering if there's a better SQ resistor for this purpose? My new to me phone stage has a slot to try custom values. I need 380 and or 390 ohm. Thanks for the help.

Check the Charcroft Z foils, if for mc loading, better than Vishay naked Z foils.

I would expect that your phono stage does not require more than 0,4W for those locations.

 

@woofhaven1992 ​​​​​​, shunt or series have the same effect on sound.

What passes through the loading resistor is current, as basically it is placed across cartridge's output terminals, so the resistor quality would have an influence.
