I'm using some Texas Component TX2575 Z Foil resistors in the Pete Millett LR (no capacitors in the signal path) phono stage I built (but not as loading resistors), and didn't have any complaints about the sound quality.

In fact, when I posted a picture of my board, the guy who builds the Lounge Audio phono stage suggested I buy a couple more TX2575 to use as 47k loading resistors. He thinks highly of them.

I've tried Shinkoh tantalums as loading resistors in my tube phono stage, and quite honestly, I didn't note any improvement over the Holco's I had built it with. I'll have to give the Audio Note's a try.
