Best resistors for use in phono stage?

@larryi , 

As far as values go, I'm going by my experience with my other phono preamp and what Peter recommends for the Sussurro. I had always been satisfied with 390 ohms with my other phono preamp. My feeling upon hearing my current 400 ohm resistor is that I'm very close. Satisfying my curiosity with what I've experienced and what Peter recommends.

Thanks for everyone's participation. I ordered some Vishay 390 & 1000 ohm to try. I have a factory slot for 980 ohm. This should get me started.

Wattage. What's the importance of this?

This is a good discussion.  

Some have mentioned a favorite for tube equipment. My phono stage is SS, my amps are tube, if that matters.

What makes wattage a challenge?

Great explanation! Thanks.

I think I see. Thanks!

I’m confused as a novice, if what passes through the resistor goes to ground, how do resistor values affect SQ? IE: cartridge performance?

Nice info. This is the sort of discussion I was hoping for.

Interesting @woofhaven1992 .

I seem to be getting differing view points. I was hoping to get a concencous opinion. Maybe it's too subjective. I would've thought the music signal went through the loading resistors.

Thanks @petg60 

Appreciate that response @larryi .

Thanks. Is there an audible difference between metal or carbon film? If so which type is preferable?
