Need opinions on resistor selection
« on: 24 Feb 2004, 08:10 am »
Hi, All

My friend suggested me another (seems) good opinion on registor selection. His suggestion was :
We don't need high quality resistors but need precise value for RIAA filters and mached value for the other resistors. Thereore, he will purchase a bulk of resistors (for example, 200/ pack for $10) instead of 4 * $5 Riken resistors. He will choose precise valued and matched resistors by his digital multimeter and will use them.

I think it is very resonable. Anybody have other opinions about this registor selection process? I think 4 precise valueed resistors and matched pair resistors at the right point would be a great benifit to the amps or so. Actually we have Cornet phono DIY in mind.

Me, I'd go the other way.  I would use quality resistors over matched ones any day.

jh :)
