Path Audio Resistors - Capacitance ?

ok Eric, Ha, good point, but roll off highs or send noise to ground?

Granny, my black binding post connects to chassis ground eventually through the PC board, so how’s it not really ground?
Also Granny, maybe you could measure capacitance on the Rike?

Oh, and  you using them in a crossover I presume?
thanks

Yes, speaker crossovers only. No, the negative binding post (speaker) is not some sort of magical ground where the signal just evaporates away into the ether 🙂

Yes, I’ve read that statement before, that ground is not some magical sink for noise. But I guess it is somewhere for the noise to go, or maybe shorted to zero potential, otherwise why would they have you connect it there. (Rike pigtail) . I once made a copper foil shield between a plasma tv and oppo player and it did nothing till I grounded the foil. Then the noise coming thru the air into the oppo almost completely went away. Just like a magical noise sink!

It is a high pass filter and Faraday shield. 

Read up on either. :) 

Erik is correct they have an outer copper shell and the drain wire is optional  in my system I did not find a noticable difference and just cut it and sealed .it has absolutely -0 effect on the high frequencies. Parts connecxion  always fails to buy ample stock
so I just ordered 10 from Hifi collective in the uk, int fedex priority
under $30 and arrives in two to 3 days max.every one of these measured under .75 of 1% in variances in 10 samples that is incredibly good. I am treating my Xover and using the excellent
milflex Copper foil .022 Bypass caps on my Xover with Duelund Silver foil with this the best resistor out there that I have heard 
in North America. $25 a piece is a bit pricy but they tie in the 
musical performance with great musicality and accuracy they for sure have a slightly warmer balance then the caddock or      Ohmite Gold.
