Top resistors


Many threads with opinions on boutique coupling capacitors, but very little consolidated information on the sonics of resistors. Anyone care to share their thoughts on the attributes of their favorite brands & types for specific tube and SS applications? How much of a difference does a good resistor make?

My interest in the topic increased after recently installing the latest Texas Components nude Vishay TX2575 in several SS and tube phono & LS components. This was a proverbial "Ah-ha" moment-- a stray resistor dropped into signal path here or there, surprising with an improvement that equalled or surpassed the impact of a switch to a top coupling cap like V-Cap or Mundorf.

Hi Response34, I was going to use some Mills MRA-12 for the power supply and as possibly plate resistor for my tube amp. But the new Mills resistors are now produced in Mexico, no longer in USA. Someone told me there's been some problems with the Mills made in Mexico. Have you had any issue with the new Mills?
