Best hi-fi resistors from DigiKey?

[sanaka]

The Vishay Dale RN55D metal film resistors seem to be a de facto standard for good fidelity in head amps.

It's kind of a bugaboo that DigiKey doesn't carry them - they usually have about everything else so it's a bummer to have to order like 8 resistors separately.

Does anyone have an opinion, sonically speaking, on the Panasonic or Yageo metal film resistors that DigiKey carries versus the Vishay Dale's?

Peace,
Sanaka

It's unlikely that you would hear any difference. The Yaego's are fine.

Hi,

They should carry CMF series.

I like the BC resistors that Digikey carries, 0.4W 1% metal film.
