Vishay resistor break in?

Thanks to you both. Sound is thin and tinny, but I will be patient. 50 hours by next week:).

Dgarretson is right. The first time I replaced stock resistors with Vishays (S10) and turned preamp on, the thing sounded so bad I almost took them out. About a week later they started to sweeten and open up the texture. The noise floor drops and everything gets better. Be patient.

After about 10 hours treble will open up and bass will tighten. Most of the break-in is finished by 50 hrs. Good choice!
