now that you know the real question, can you enlighten me with some thoughts?
All resistors add a bit of noise, so less is better. I'd buy the correct size, period, and forget about paralleling. Plus, I've read the entire IM716 Podectomy thread (I have a pair, too) and I thought the general consensus was 47 ohm, not 33.
that's interesting..because from what i know, in signal path application, using more resistor in paralel is better than using 1 single resistor within the same value..
