What happened to your Rega philosophy? - jedrider 21:20:11 02/18/10 (0)

Yes, but which Vishay and what flavor do you want? - Ric Schultz 23:11:22 02/09/10 (7)

"you must damp them....or they ring" - hukkfinn 23:15:20 02/11/10 (0)

Pics attached... they say "47K0 FC" on one side, "VSH1 9643" on the other. - hukkfinn 06:49:02 02/10/10 (5)

No wonder.....VSH are bad sounding. - Ric Schultz 13:57:34 02/16/10 (1)

Is damping material necessary if I just mount them flush to the board? - hukkfinn 11:12:38 02/18/10 (0)

See the linked pdf file for explanation of numbers. - Al Sekela 16:16:06 02/10/10 (2)

Wow....thank you! - hukkfinn 16:41:37 02/10/10 (1)

Leads should be dressed to be as short as possible. - Al Sekela 15:13:11 02/11/10 (0)

Maybe the cheapy was used for a purpose.............n/t - jihad 18:26:08 02/09/10 (0)

OK, Here's what I would do. - Paul_A 17:34:15 02/08/10 (1)

IMO, PRPs sound better than Holcos. - Al Sekela 15:30:45 02/09/10 (0)

Sorry about that -- here is the type of Vishay used - hukkfinn 10:52:09 02/08/10 (0)

You betcha and you heared it. - Paul_A 11:35:34 02/07/10 (15)

My Vishays were all shunts to ground. Were yours actually carrying the signal? - hukkfinn 10:54:37 02/08/10 (11)

The shunt element affects the audio signal more than the series element - Slider 08:38:08 02/09/10 (9)

A series resistor has more influence on sound than a shunt resistor. - jihad 18:36:20 02/09/10 (0)

The modder disagrees with this from a logic standpoint, but - hukkfinn 09:33:57 02/09/10 (7)

Agree with Slider. - Al Sekela 15:21:30 02/09/10 (5)

so far the logic of the modder seems clearly correct to my pea brain - hukkfinn 22:07:08 02/09/10 (4)

The signal is the voltage, not the current. - Al Sekela 16:03:49 02/10/10 (0)

I meant experience like, "hey, that expensive power cord really does sound better... - hukkfinn 08:20:43 02/10/10 (1)

I agree. - rick_m 09:24:12 02/10/10 (0)

Have you tried Vishay S102 or TX2352? - Jon L 17:26:53 02/07/10 (0)

Thank you! "Strident" is exactly what I am hearing. nt - hukkfinn 11:59:33 02/07/10 (1)

Just remembered Al Sekela recommended PRP but..... - hukkfinn 11:09:11 02/07/10 (5)

They sound the best in my RF noise filters. - Al Sekela 16:07:04 02/07/10 (4)

Vishay type used - hukkfinn 10:49:41 02/08/10 (2)

I'm still concerned that the circuit topology may have been changed. - Al Sekela 15:17:45 02/08/10 (1)

Sorry to confuse -- this question is different from the previous one relating to volume control. - hukkfinn 09:20:17 02/09/10 (0)

Thanks, very valuable input. So you agree that Vishays emphasize mids at the expense of bass? - hukkfinn 11:19:03 02/07/10 (3)
