RE: Syllogism

I wasn't really suggesting that blindly replacing all resistors in any circuit with only Z-foil was the path to nirvana, but it could be a path to the poorhouse. I use about six different types in my little chip amps, and I've tried many more. I can't pretend that what I have is the optimum configuration, as there are simply too many possible combinations. But what I use now was determined to be the "best" after MUCH experimentation.

That was my initial suggestion: buy a few types and experiment. The OP determined by accident that resistors sound different. I agreed, and suggested he try others.

I think you meant carbon comp, not carbon film for low inductance. Even then, there are probably better choices.

Peace,
