Charcroft Z-Foil Resistors

...Has anyone tried them?

I'm thinking of giving them a go as there are a couple of 'critical' positions in my amp and phono stage where these might be just the ticket! :)

I have a quad to use in the balanced preamp I am building, but I am leaving using them until its boxed up, so they don't suffer any strain on their lead outs. So I haven't tried listening to them yet.

Okidokey... let me know what you think when the time comes please, Nick. If you would? :)

Déjà vu moment! I'm sure I've asked this before, come to think of it, but just got tumbleweeds in response. :scratch:

Will do

Hey Mike!

I've played with the equivalents from Texas Components here in the US and they're quite nice. In my application at the end of the day I ultimately preferred my long time favorite Ohmite Little Demon carbon comps, but for critical positions, especially in a phono stage, the Z-foils might well have won the day.

Of course there's no substitute for trying something for yourself, so really what I'm saying is that I think it's worth taking a chance on them and giving them a try.

Good luck!

I'm tempted to try some on my phono boards
