Designing great sounding amps and preamps is a art form that many don't understand. It's not just about throwing the best quality parts together and having a great sounding amps. The circuitry design power supply design and many other factors are involved. A great amp designer might use a certain type of resistor that is not high tech just because it sounds better with his circuitry. Shindo comes to mind

-it should be something that should be taken seriously. Why would a higher quality part not sound as good as a cheaper one?
If only a cheap part sounds right in the circuit, its a good bet there is a synergy that is causing that to happen, and IME that is never a good thing. Its much better to find out the why of it and sort it out. You should not be forced to put in an inferior part to get the right sound, unless coloration is really your goal.
This brings up the issue of reference. I know some manufacturers that really have no idea what their equipment sounds like on account of the fact that they don't have a good reference. FWIW To deal with the reference issue we made our own recordings which have been issued on LP and CD.
So your saying Shindo (may he rest in peace) didn't know what he was doing when he chose carbon resistors in parts of his designs over modern equivalent. I don't know what you manufacture but Shindo designs are revered all over the world....

Audio porn!
Those hands have no hair on them...
Are they female hands??
Thanks

No. But he had to put makeup on them.
Really a great piece of marketing...it looks very expensive too...
Thanks again
Mark
very cool, Ralph.
