Resistor type
Hi Guys
I’m using a SUT and I need to put resistors on the primary side. I’ve used an online calculator and it comes out at 21ohms. So two things really
1) Do I go for 20 or 22ohms - I would be trying to use a 1% tolerance to minimise the differences between channels
2) What type of resistor, carbon, metal film etc should I be using. I would like to say that money is no object but of course that’s not true so a compromise will be required.
Many thanks

Hi William,
you can get 21 ohm resistors https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDeta...yAhjvYMDhuU%3D

Were it me, I’d get these-

I'd recommend Takman carbon resistors - https://www.hificollective.co.uk/cat...resistors.html . More musical, less 'HiFi' than the naked Z-Foils and somewhat cheaper to boot!

Yep Takman are good also.

And?
Nobody baulks at paying lots for foo caps.
You can probably get them a bit cheaper elsewhere, but Hifi Collective service is first class, and you can be confident you aren’t getting fakes.

But foo caps are rolled on the thighs of naked virgins in the dew drops of a golden dawn! Resistors is just resistors innit.
Personally I also like metal foil and metal film, low noise, tight spec, predictable performance. But then I haven't knowingly heard the resistor magic of carbon comps.

I do. But I'm a cheapskate.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
