"There is no chance of a CC resistor "effecting the sound" when used in the grid stop position" Two people have brought up noise from CC as a potential negative on the sound. Others agree with you that there is so little, not zero, be so little voltage,current and heat that it won't cause distortion but their noise could still be a negative. Distortion and noise being two different categories. Let's see if Ralph weighs in? Maybe bring it up with him in tubes diy where they have me blocked for some reason? There are those, it would sure seem that Ralph is one of them that believe the math in relation to the inductance that would be in a metal film and it's leads does not support the creation of oscillation. There are those who say they hear a difference. To think one can take subjectivity out of this hobby would be a bit of a stretch. Anyone in this hobby, "should", IMHO, be able to hear the difference between a fuse and no fuse, and it at least some cases different types of fuses with the same or very similar operational specs.It is in no way shape or form almost impossible to do, I don't get why you would say such a thing. Just try a glass vs ceramic fuse and try something similar to your example, a thick short. Asking a baby not to cry might be impossible but changing a dam fuse,I don't think so.

I am saying that I could come to your house and change the fuses in your system (without telling you) and you would not be able to tell. I could tell you that I changed the fuses (even though I didn't) and then you would hear a difference because you expect to hear a difference.

I have to laugh at this one

"...in tubes diy where they have me blocked for some reason?"

You really can't figure out why they blocked you?

Have a nice day.

  I could come to your house and change those carbon comps with metal films and you couldn't tell the difference. Might you do or show me the math that might contradict my statement? Math showing how the amount of inductance in metal film as opposed to carbon comp will cause an oscillation or an oscillation at a frequency that would or would likely create a problem? Thanks, A of S

    You never answered my question.
    
    Why are you concerned about grid stop resistors?
    
    Do you use the type of tubes that need them?

  No I can't. Was it the big fish? There was no politics involved and I don't think there were any cus words or un-family friendly statement? 'splain it to me Lucy.
