best resistors

Anyone heard the Takman's?

Using takman in the Defy7, plate votage, 
My tech guy suggested we go carbon composite so we did, After 10 minutes I noted a smoothing out effect, = maybe warmer,,which is not what I wanted.
I perfer detail, more separation. I can clearly understand why folks like Caron composite, for its smoothness, But  considering the Defy has 6 6550's each channel, there is no need for any **extra** smoothness. So we went back to what Jadis had originally, metal, 
WE had the Takman Metal already ordered, and after switching, that same **Jadis sound* came back to the amp.
I do not find the metal edgy at all. 
I have some Takman Metal Rey's going in my Jadis DPL next week. Replacing the 20+ yr old metal resistors there now.

I'll report back on upgrade. 

Vishay Zfoil's are 1/2 watt, I need 1 watt in the Jadis DPL, so $17X 2 = not doable. 
I don't want to duplicate the resistor load. 
Might add more noise/distortion + Zfoil's do not have all the values I need.
IMHO the best resistor for the money are the Takman ~~Rey~~ Metal, has nearly every value and 1/2 watt and 1 watt. The only value  not avaliable in the Rey's was the 470K, But did offer every other value = making the Rey best choice in resistor. 

For the 470K we will go with the Audio Note Tantalum made in Britain . @ $15 each. 
We plan to  do this res swap in stages, make sure I like the sound.
as per Richard Grey's advice. Richard sides with caution when making upgrades.
