The modder did not say that shunt resistors have no effect on the sound. He feels that poor resistors in this position can contribute noise to the audio signal. Quality resistors in this position improve sonics by reducing noise, he says.
I hear the argument that a shunt-to-ground resistor is like a bypass capacitor, which we all know *does* contribute to sonics. But doesn't the audio signal really, actually pass through a bypass cap? Whereas, the signal does not pass through a shunt to ground?
Either way I know logic is not what matters, it's experience. And I am grateful to you all for your thoughts. I'm gonna put a Riken or a PRP in place of these vishays and report back to you. Thanks again,
Hukk
