Takman's take on induced noise makes sense with the naked Vishay, but then, induced noise would predict lower transparency, resolution. I believe pretty universal experience TX2575 highest resolving, transparent resistor. Issue with these, wattage and lack of flavor, as previously noted these won't supply your needs.
In any case I'd like to hear your impressions of these resistors if you decide to try. |
@pesky_wabbit I very much doubt the Z foils will deliver what OP desires in this particular case, reason I suggested Takman carbon films over Z foil. And my suggestions not based on pure speculation as you speculate in regard to my experience. I have in fact been using the Z foils for years, many in my Merlin BAM, in previous dac, in former phono stage, in Art Audio Carissa Sig, in my present 300B monoblocks. So, plenty of experience, again, I doubt these will give OP what he desires. Also, wattage will be of concern, TX2575 just over 1/4 watt, yes, you can stack for greater wattage capability. In the end I believe OP is on correct path, he's done due diligence here. |
I've heard many things about the Z Foils and the Takman paper regarding their design is a logic aligned with many experiences I've had. We all have to prioritize based on the synergies and brands that resonate with us. In a perfect world, I would love to try them. Absolutely the only way to know anything for sure is to try it yourself. If the AN resistors are too euphonic or feeling too inaccurate, I might go to the z-foils. Just when I think I master the logic of my DIY, I will get shocked with a failure and go searching in new territory :) Isn't that the truth?
Regardless..doesnt sound like too many people have tried Niobium. |
