Resistor Type used by Pass Labs

rsbay · 27th May 2007, 12:59 PM

Hello,

I've build an Aleph P V1.7 and an Ono clone with resistors from Dale/Vishay. A couple of weeks ago I read an old article which describes the X0 preamplifier. On a picture which shows the circuit board it looks like Nelson don't use normal metal film resistors there. In an other article about the XA60 power amp you can see that there are normal metal film resistors in use.

My question :
Did someone knows which type of resistor Nelson use in his top product (e.g. the X0.2 prea,p or the XOno) ?

Regards

Ralph

My personal preferences are Panasonics for the 1-3 watt
varieties, and Dale (Vishay) for the precision types. This is
not to say that there aren't fine alternatives.

if you want top type resistors....just go for Naked Vishay S102 and don't worry about anything else

The Vishay RN60's soud great as well. I usually get mine from Mouser.
