pink for RF, black stands for what?
for the next device I have to test for EMI and modify to pass, and that "fails" in EMI ( =RF) I will use pink color to make it pass. great idea. we will close soon all expensive EMC test labs. pink color will save huge costs. I did also not know, that a speaker can reproduce RF frequencies. i will try to use my speakers as an antenna soon. first trial starts a 1GHz....we now are missing colorful wires, capacitors, PCB, and all the other colored stuff. the future in electronics is colorful. humans are incredible stuff.............

Outstanding! I feel a new AES paper is in the works as I type

Hey, my thread came alive after almost a year sleeping.
And it's already full of useful information 🙂
Are they playing Monty Python rehearsals somewhere ?

Too much current through the pink resistor 😉

But you haven't heard yet about my resistor based on anti protons?
When electrons hit it... well, think of the firecracker in the cigar trick... 😀
Cheers!
wonder resistors
dead things live longer, can even revive. just started, to design my own resistors, capacitors for personal sound.: the more beer, the better the sound.
resistors i do now on a piece of paper with a graphite pen, an the fine tune to my sound.

Here's my impression when using takman carbon resistor
sweet sound, bit thick treble (against dale RN60) but detail
too much this resistor made my D/A converter sound lack dynamic and lost bit definition

Thank you for posting your impressions. But I don't understand this part.sweet sound, bit thick treble (against dale RN60) but detail

But detail too much.
and this I've try for the last 2 days
most of resistor I've try have direction too, some sounds better when I use opposite the reading code.
here's the result (according to my ears)
Takman -- opposite is better and sweeter
Dale RN60 -- both side is good but different character (depends on your need)
Audionote tantalum -- linear is better
Shinkoh tantalum -- linear is better
Mills wirewound MRA5 -- both side is good but same character I think
Kiwame carbon -- opposite is sweeter
Riken RMG -- opposite
Riken standard (brown one) -- opposite
KOA metal film (blue coating) -- linear
I'll wait for everyone feedback.... 🙂

I mean Takman sound also thick treble and detail also
too much using this resistor on signal path made my D/A converter lack dynamic and definition. I recomend to combine with other resistor e.g. dale RN series, Riken, tantalum..
sorry for my poor english😀
I've used the metal and the carbon Takmans as I/V resistors in my dac. To my surprise the metal ones sounded a lot smoother (like butter) and probably also clearer. Didn't like the carbon ones in that position of the circuit.
are there new materials from outside the world coming to make resistors?
Not that I am aware of. Do you have alien source that you are not telling the rest of us about?

How about resistors made from quasi-1-dimensional molecular chains using polaron charge transport?😀

Do i get carbon credits if i use metal films?
If so please let me know 🙂
What does the black resistor color mean?
Holy cow - I blew snot out my nose from laughing at this one.....

Your response is as good!

nice fairly inexpensive resistors
I used the Takman REY metal film resistors in various positions throughout my Jolida JD-502 amp with good results. The sound is fairly extended with good information retrieval. I did however change the grid stop resistors to Riken RMG's and found them to be more organic and for some reason the sound stage is also deeper. Also the instruments are better defined. But from what I have read you can't use too many of them. Overall the Takman's are a good value and would like to try the REX version.

looking outside
Sy- One drawing in the acid doping decript looks like a Buckyball space rope resistor I hear NASA is holding in their Alien Tech files. Sounds bad I know.😱
