Your comment is a joke and an illustration of why audio as a hobby gets so much grief.... have you proof that you can hear differences between resistors or are you like many of the GEB so convinced in their infallible hearing that reality has to take a back seat.
microwave and audio yeah go for it they are so relevant!🙄
So directional cables then, what's your take.....
It is easy to see where you are coming from.
(1) Can't spell thread right
(2) Start out utterly dissing the thread and its participants
(3) Make the broadest possible generalization about parts and people
Just guessing here, but probably not the best way to make friends and influence people.
Arny, perhaps you might limit your criticisms to technical issues rather than the spelling of someone whose native language is not English. Otherwise, you might not make friends and influence people.😀
Just to stir the waters some more. Based on the numerous examples out there in tech papers from suppliers such as TI, AD, Vishay etc, it would suggest that there is more performance gain from getting the layout right (or should that be potential loss) than from special passives.
You require a tech paper for that ?
Altering layout can save a THD bundle on an AP read-out, but why settle for one or the other ? (Dales are indeed mighty-fine sounding resistors)

Dales at 10c or less a pop are hardly boutique grade!
I don't require a tech paper, just stirring the pot. I would also pay someone to lay out a board for me if I wanted ultimate performance as I'm not good enough at it.

In my humble opinion a lot of fashion audio layout is not good, and quite often an open invitation for RF, EMC and other problems...
Now as intermetallic's etc. have been mentioned let us add PCB surface finish to the equation as this will have a bearing on what intermetallic's are created at the soldering phase....
Surface Finish? Advantages and Disadvantages | Headpcb
Now we can discuss surface finish and effect on sound🙂

NOS holcos are around 35p as are Resita. In fact NOS Allen Bradleys are similar price even. No one is hurt, not even defenseless wallets.
DUELUND CAST at £32 each OTOH... Makes the £12 audionote tantalums seem a good deal.
