What is the BEST resistor for audio use


I am searching the BEST resistor for audio use to put on a goldpoint potentiometer (http://www.goldpt.com) No hold bared. And price is not a problem. I've heard that metal film (holco, etc) deteriorate the sound and are really cold.
Any opinion?

All passive components sound the same i.e. a resistor is a resistor, a capacitor is a capacitor, wire is wire, etc... So long as all parts used are within a specific tolerance, they should all measure the same electrically. Since test equipment is FAR more sensitive than the resolution that our ears offer, the pursuit of "better sound" through more expensive "parts" is strictly snake oil and salemanship at its' finest.

Wait a minute. Disregard all of that hogwash. Somehow, the ghost of Julian Hirsch ( or was it Peter Aczel ??? ) somehow took over my thought process and bodily functions. Luckily, one of my cats came by and scared the evil spirits away. As you know, evil spirits are afraid of cats ( just watch "The Mummy" if you don't believe me ). Luckily, no permanent damage or "full time possession" occured.

Honestly though, i know that Ohmite was working on some "audiophile grade" resistors a while ago. Don't know if they ever came to surface or not. Dave B ( who used to be an Asylum regular ) and Jon Risch were working on the design. Might be worth checking into, even if it ends up a dead end. Sean

www.diyhifisupply.com sells goldpoint kits that include the Vishay/Dales and instructions on assembly. It's a tedious soldering job, but well worth the effort! Cheers!
I hav only heard good things about BULK metal film. The vishay is one and the Caddock is another. Caddock started in the precision test and measurement fields. .01% is easy for them. Chris
Ohmite did come out with an audio grade resistor. Ive used them with great results. They can be found at

George is a very knowledgible guy.

The Vishay aee good,Hovland makes great capacitors.They make a big difference.
