It's not the boutique resistor I would worry about so much as any noise that is inherent in your filament supply. If you have time on your hands one day, just try using a Schottky to bias the cathode. I got the idea from Naz and others like Al, and it does work a treat; there will be LESS noise, not more noise, sand-o-phobia notwithstanding. (By the way, a Schottky is not made of sand, anyway.)
