3W instead of 5W in Aleph 5?

[dantwomey]

After searching the forum I see where a similar question has been kicked around but I'm more comfortable with a question stated in my own words.

I'm having trouble finding 1% metal film non-inductive 5 watt resistors for the .47 and 1 ohm in my aleph 5. Could anyone tell me if I could use the 3 watt versions Digikey carries instead?

Regards,
Dan

Yes you can, actually Nelson uses the panasonic 3W himself

And a small detail of my own, nearly finished Aleph.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Notice the blue 3Watters
