Always tradeoffs, but per the recommendation of an audio buddy I went with the Takman REY metal film in my Hagerman Bugle 3 phono stage. No regrets, and will likely use them again when I build the Hagerman Cornet 3. .
Metal or Carbon Resistors - Which is better?
A passive preamp paired with 300B amplifier and TT as main source.
Passive preamp comes with two options,
a) Metal film resistor - 1% accuracy 0.5W type
OR
b) Carbon composition resistor - 5% accuracy 0.5W type
Which one would you choose and why?
