Where to find 'good sounding' resistors?


I would like to experiment with cartridge loading. I wonder if the 'brand' of resistors matter? If so, can anyone point me to a website so I can order them?

Thanks a million.

Texas Components TX2575 should be on your short list. They're largely considered the lowest noise resistors you can get. You can only buy them from the manufacturer:

FWIW, Texas Components makes the S102C and S102K for Vishay. The TX2352 and TX2575 are essentially naked versions of the S102 using bulk metal foil. Michael Elliott from Counterpoint/Aria explains the Vishay hierarchy here:
