Replacing Emitter (metal plate cement type) with Mills WW non-ind.-Any Improvement?

dtm1962 · 29th August 2006, 03:55 AM

Am I wasting my time in thinking there is any improvement if I replace the 2W low inductive metal plate cement resistor with a Mills non-inductive 5 W resistor for my emitter resistors in my Power Amp?

Has anyone tried this?

Any sound improvement or it is not critical enough to hear an improvement?

Any comments would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Actually if the emtter resistors are really metal plate type, not wire wound, then the metal plate is cut in a serpentine pattern that's pretty non-inductive on its own.
