RE: wirewound resistors question...

The 12 watt mills can be had up to 100K. Most tubes that use high resistance are running very low currents, like 12AX7's. Aside from suggesting avoiding such tubes:).....just use a decent metal or carbon film resistor. I wouldn't use metal oxides for audio myself.

Mills does make 5 watt resistors and they can do for cathodes. Ohmite makes good ones as well as huntington. A good wire wound resistor is one of the best possible choices. You do want non-inductive for tube loads.
