Visually, it is exactly as mine. Do not see any differences.
I purchased them from Michael - TB.
Fakes presumably become worthwhile when one buys in substandard parts for 1cent and relabels them on a batching facility that consumes many hundreds/thousands of dollars and the price mark up then makes it worth while distributing the fakes in great numbers (tens of thousands) to the wholesalers who don't want to ask for "authenticity" credentials.
2sk369 as you state almost certainly don't fall in attractive faking territory.
No, you need 5K6. BTW Vgeorge said to me he got fakes from ebay on first try, can't remember from which store. Second try he got real ones. Ammo tape ones are usually alright and yours look like having the right legs and plastic head proportions as long as expected IDSS range.
Dang hard to find hq low ppm +1 watters, can a WW 20 ppm work?

5r6 is the value I need. That is no unusual value. I am looking for low noice, low PPM resistors in that value and they are hard to find in 1 W or bigger.
Serial + parallell 2 + 2 0,5 W seems abit to much for me. The one I posted is good on paper and locally avaliable but is wirewound. I wondered if anyone thinks that can be a downside.

"For high MC cartridge 2-2,5 mV don't populate Q2, R3, use 68R R2 and 5,6K 1 W R13 for 43 dB gain."

Yes, usually very low noice and stable. Drawback can be some inductiveness on higher values, since its a spiral (spool) of resistive wire around a nonmagnetic core. Sometimes that can be harmful, sometimes it doesnt matter.
I understood Mills wire-wound resistors were non-inductive. Are you saying they are inductive?

Dont know about Mills but some are wound in a non-inductive way. Then they usually have two spirals wound each way.
I dont think inductiveness matters at all on R13. It can be positive actually since its a rail resistor. Oscillations would be the only drawback but I would be surpriced if so.
On tube grids for example, inductive resistors can start to oscillate with the grid capacistance. Thats why carbon is popular as gridstoppers there in extreme cases.

Looking at the parts I got for my second build. A very nice kit indeed - thanks TB! .I believe I'll wait for the watercooling part to materialize before I start 
. As always keeping an eye on things.
Hope to find a quite period where I will change C3 from Obbligado gold+ to Mundorf SGIO's and replace the cooling blocks to standard from what I've been using. As I now have a probably)) reliant LCR meter I'll check the C2+C2Y combo and better it if needed. Of, course I would like to know if there are other findings amongs the builders that I could take with me in the review...
So far I'm very very pleased with the SQ as is my wife and the dogs. Really, as soon as I put our regular baroque vinyls on they just find their preferred spots and listen - ears up.
One can hear every instrument if you listen for it. It is there...
