Low noise resistors?

Posted by andyr on August 15, 2021 at 20:43:06:

I had been using Vishay VSH resistors in 2 places in my Muse phono stage, in a series connection, where low noise is ideal.

My normal supplier does not seem to be able to supply them any more - so I'm wondering what other, reasonable-cost, resistor I could use instead?

I'm thinking I could use 100ohm Mills wire-wound in one place - as I understand wire-wound resistors are rated as 'low noise'. But the other place I need a low noise is with a 47K value - and the Mills MRA-5 range doesn't seem to go up that high.

So what other brands do people recommend?

Thanks,
Andy
