oh sorry, misstypo!!..i meant two 75ohm resistors..the resulting impedance as you already calculated is 37.5. while paralleling 50ohm and 100ohm resistors will give you 33.3ohm.
 
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..
