Re: series or parallel

Thanks for the help. I have another question, however. Why does Al recommend having the resitor in series with the caps while Magnan says the resistor should be in parallel to dissipate the charge from the caps when unplugged? Sorry if this is ignorant, but it seems to be an important difference and I don't know enough about AC power to understand the difference of opinion
Also, can one use normal resistors, or is there some special type people like for this application? I known Al recommends PRP resitors for the speaker R-C filters, but for AC I don't know... Thanks
Chris
