Hi I need your comments on this page, providing a good explanation of why wire wound resistors and pontentiometers are better for audio applications.

High thermal dissipation available.
More tolerant of voltage on the wiper.
Lower noise.
For parts over ~10K ohms inductance not a factor @ audio frequency. Also not a problem in triode plate loads.
Not good choice for grid, plate, cathode stoppers. Here low inductance and short leads are critical.

A bit thread necro.. but I take it that something like this would be usable for initial plate adjustments, prior to replacing with fixed resistances. Voltages ~120-200V.

This would be in series with fixed resistances for larger values. Insulation 500V, capable of 2W. The over spec is simply to allow reuse at a later date with 320V or 400V.

Why 10 turn? there is no need.
I would choose 93R1A-R22-A15L | Bourns 1 Gang Rotary Cermet Potentiometer with an 6 mm Dia. Shaft - 10kΩ, +-10%, 2W Power Rating, Linear, Panel Mount | RS Components
A lot less expensive.
