I've used these extensively in many (mostly PP) amp projects, they perform very nicely! Maybe not in the league of extraordinary boutique platimum plated and diamond-encrusted parts, but I'm fully satisfied with them. I use 1 or 2 wattmetal films where power requirements dictate, 1/4 and 1/2 watts elsewhere.

I've also used the Dale / Vishay 1/4 and 1/2 watt resistors, they are also nice, and for the hopelessly mathematically anal types (like I can be sometimes, when I get in into a "Mr.Spock" frame of mind) the tight % tolerances are nice, though not really necessary in about 95% of my "real world" applications.
