Top resistors

As for the TF020. The leads can be soldered out and replaced with some nice wire for a much improved sound.

Aa very nice balanced resistor, but felt the TX2575 to have a more incisive hifish character which can be too much of a good thing. I balanceda TX2575 with nichicon caps for my cdp output. It was perfectly balanced.

Now, with the TX2575 with rubycon zl, the sound became bright, hard and super etched. Here where the TF020 can sound nice with with the zl caps.

I have bad experience with zl caps...sounds harsh -- horrible for me
I more prefer using TX2575 with better caps such as Elna cerafine or silmic or with blackgate

Hello I have experimented with Vishay,Caddock,
For Loudspeaker networks the Duelund was the best IMO at dissapating heat,and a Very neutral and natural presentation .
Recently I heard from friends across the pond in the U.K about the newest
Best resistor ,also incorporating a ground off the Copper chassis.
A company called Path Audio,hand made in Poland. They are a bit pricy
But the most natural resistors I have ever used.this includes others that have many years in the field. These resistors do take a solid 100 hours
Before fully settled in. Well worth the expense,$35 retail and at a 1% tolerance The best in the business for a Loudspeaker Xover.

Interesting Audioman, maybe I need to run in my PathAudio resistors some more. I was not so pleased with their sound compared to Duelund CAST resistors, but I doubt that I had anything close to 100 hours before I removed them. My main complaints about the PathAudio were a recessed distant perspective and subdued dynamics relative to the CAST. I will break them in further and try them again.

The CAST resistors are excellent in my opinion. The regular Duelunds, on the other hand, have some fairly serious colorations that make them only suitable for specific applications where the colorations are complementary. Regular Duelunds are excessively warm in the lower mids and are rolled off in the highs. But they do have very good detail and dynamics. The CAST resistors are much more neutral.

I agree with you with the Cast resistors they are excellent. Email Hifi collective in the UK. 100 hrs min for runin and recommend using the ground to the Loudspeaker terminal as a RF screen.
The Path Audio resistors and Duelund resistors are both excellent
The both sound different in a given circuit. Duelund tolerance are 5% and
Path Audio a1% which will be a bit better in driver accuracy to a very
Small point.
