"TX2575 Naked Foil Resistors"

[Marco]

I admit i have not tried one,but i have to go with my "technical" knowledge that has been accumulated in a lifetime working in electronics.

At the end of the day i respect the opinion of those who say they work,but i am still a non believer.

That's fine, and I'm glad you added that last sentence, but in my experience it pays never to arrive at a definitive conclusion about anything in hi-fi until you've tried it first yourself. Scepticism is healthy, cynicism isn't.

If this forum is against free opinion,then i will leave of my own accord,just let me know.

Not in the slightest, but we ask you to observe 'Our Ethos'. Have you read it?

We also ask our new members to pop into the welcome area and introduce themselves, tell us what system they're running, a bit about the music they like, and generally make themselves known to the membership. You have still to do this, so I would respectfully ask you to comply with our wishes before posting further in the main sections of the forum.

We value transparency here, Colin, not anonymity - I'm sure you respect that

Mike,

Observe the posts of 'Pre65' and the second of 'Scotmoose' here (scroll about three quarters of the way down):

Coincidence or not?

Regardless, it's yet another example of these idiots stirring the shit and slagging us off! Why can't the just ignore AOS and stick to their own forum?

Marco.

Probably... Like I said,

I've heard similar things too

This sort of 'chat' has been around a while about the Bybee's in DIY circles. I've commented neither for or against them as I've never even seen one, let alone heard whatever effect they my (or indeed, may not) have.

So.... Back to the naked Z foils, eh?

Can they be bought anywhere yet?

Hello

I am currently making further evaluations on the TX2575 in our reference DAC, a modified Sony DAS-R1. A pair of these Z-Foil resistors replaced the Japanese carbon type used in the output coupling stage. The improvements here surpassed any expectation. I had anticipated improvements in clarity, transparency, but these 2 resistors have improved the overall spectrum from lowest bass to treble. Resolution has also improved. Not only are the TX2575 incredibly transparent, quiet, they are very musical, natural sounding, and appear to exhibit no sonic character of their own; the closest I have heard to a ‘piece of wire’.

Best Wishes

Hi Mike

To start with we are including them in our higher level modifications, then the more commonly used values, 100R, 22R, etc, will be available from our web store.

Thanks for your interested

Here's some naked Z-Foils if anyone is interested...

Pricey but not ridiculous, especially when compared to the cost of audio caps.

Cheers.
