Final Countdown on Resistor Purchase

68.184.36.128

Posted by jshoc on February 24, 2007 at 09:07:37

Trying to finalize my resistor mfg selection for a power amp I am building. The BEAST from TranscendentSound.

Please advise on the following selection, appreciate your input.

1) Riken ohm Tantalums for resistors in the signal path: 1/2 Watt

2) resistors <=1 Watt, considering the Vishay RN65D for my 1/2 Watt Metal Film resistors

3) 2 Watt Resistor - found Vishay CPF2 Metal Films with a tolerance of +/-5%. Would like a resistor value with +/-1% tolerance however.

4) 3 Watt Resistor?

5) 5 Watt Resistor - 2.5 Ohm and 1K Ohm, the Mills MRA5 non-inductive wirewound looks good. The Ohmite AudioGold look good, but I could not find a supplier. Do I need a high quality 1k Ohm resistor for a connection to the fuse?

Thanks
Jim

The Dayton Wirewound looks good, but they did not have the values I was looking for.

Have you come across Kiwame resistors?
Any other suggestions?
