In Reply to: Re: But how about wire-wound resistors? How does your argument apply to that case?(NT) posted by Steve Eddy on April 2, 2002 at 13:28:12:
so my question is why when we go to extreme lengths for ultrapure wire, do we apply far less science to the selection of resistors (if you choose to use them)thats where the contradiction is... we get real scientiffic about wire many 9's, oxygen free, teflon coating.... yet resistors are just a name... caddock, mills, holco, AB....
in any event my arguement was all resistors butcher the sound, and i'll take a longer length of good conductor over a shorter length of crappy conductor any day... (based on experience... justified by my logic above... and yes it is an opinion.... just not one many people like)
if i still used cathode resistors, i would wind them out of magnet wire... use a bifilar pair and series them up to cancel inductance... and wow... this is how some noninductive resistors are wound... the catch is if you don't use a crappy conductor the capcitance kills you... why not use copper and put all those extra turns of wire and capcitance to work for you in the form of a bypass :-)
i have on a number of occasions offered this to people who wanted to try it, and the respnse was... no this resistor sounds good....
dave... who prefers to use good conductors, but does occasionally sneak a evil resistor into a circuit (hint in places it will be isolated from AC).
