I'm picking resistors for my new KT88 monoblocks. The designer (John Eckland) specifies 2W carbon composition NOS. I'm also considering Kiwame 2W carbon film (from Michael Percy @ $1.10 each) and Stackpole 2W carbon film from Handmade ($0.20 each).Also, if I go to carbon film instead of carbon comp, I won't need the 2W rating in a lot of places; 2W was spec'd to keep things from drifting as carbon comp is prone to do. I've never experimented to see if 1W or 1/2W resistors sound different than 2W units.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Les
