Path Audio Resistors - Capacitance ?

Hi Everyone,

I've been reading up on the Path Audio resistors. It seems they are not pure resistors, but deliberately designed as resistors with capacitance. That 3rd lead will bleed off high frequencies. 

If anyone has a pair and can measure the capacitance I'd be curious to know. 

Best,

Erik

Yes the 3rd wire is shield to ground.  Well to the negative binding post which is really not ground.

I have a pair on order. I use them all the time as they are fabulous. Just uber neutral and so smooooth! Clean, natural and smooth. Did I say smooth?

I won’t have them until early next week.

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 🙂
