loading resistor question


I am considering changing the value of my turntable preamp loading resistor. It allows you to choose the value but I have to supply the resistor.

Are there audio grade resistors to use for this purpose? Are there any sound difference one can discern between different make resistors?

And that is just the loading resistor. IMagine what the sound is like when you do the whole audio path in vishay resistors!!!!!

Same is true with half track tape electronics. Have been doing both for quite a few years. Just as an FYI, I prefer the VSR vishays. Same performance as the more expensive S104 versions, but toll. is only 0.1% vs. 0.01%.

If nothing else, be sure to replace all your pre amp shunt resistors or any R's that are loading an output stage.
