Path Audio Resistors - Capacitance ?

I have a pair on order. I use them all the time as they are fabulous. Just uber neutral and so smooooth! Clean, natural and smooth. Did I say smooth?

I won’t have them until early next week.

Erik, really? I read up on them too, and thought the third wire was connected to the shield around the resistor, the other end to be soldered to ground. Nothing specifically about bleeding off highs.
could you post the link?

Hi @jhrlrd -

You are right, but what you don't realize is that you are essentially describing both a faraday shield AND a capacitor. :) 

What is a capacitor but two conductors separated by insulators? The copper shield adds capacitance. Same thing happens with shielded wiring by the way. 

What I'm wondering is whether or not this is measurable as capacitance. If it's tiny it won't make much of a difference. 

Best,

Erik

Yes the 3rd wire is shield to ground.  Well to the negative binding post which is really not ground.
