Well clearly the 331R is "perfect" as the rated tolerance is for the resistors is 1%. 1% resistors are considered "overkill" by many.
I doubt very much that Nelson is assuming 1% resistors. More like 10% probably
It surprises me that you measured 282R for the second one but I doubt it makes any difference at all.
The 282R is surprising as the Vishay-Dale resistors usually exceed spec.
I'm hoping Zennie or Nelsonie pops up and puts your mind at ease. If not- we'll talk....

if we are talking about R4 position ( as Denis sez - part of NFB net) , it is absolutely critical that they're in 1% between channels
so , to ichiban - say tnx , and buy two 330R metalfilms locally .......
My thoughts also, thanks.
For a DALE it just seemed unusual.
Tomorrow I will check the variance on the others again.
Thanks. (I was wondering if they might have been loose RN55 resistors
with goofy resistance codes that were mispackaged.)
I think your diligence shows why it's always a good idea to measure the parts
before use. (But dang it's weird for a CMF55 to be out of spec like that.)
Hopefully other members will also measure their parts, in case there are
other outliers...
Cheers,

Yes always measure all resistors to know real component specyfications and i can match R pairs for symmetry
so my left and right pcb circuits are "mirror images" ..but wait...we have trimmers so is not necessairy.
I do anyway is hobby pleasure on the work bench.
Dale and Vishay or TCC i tested last month's was all in spec ok.
I like clean resistors legs oxidation to make them brights & shine
that soldering flow is little easer and good for sound quality as well.
Do you see clean legs R on my photo ?

I did it:
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Ichiban, sorry everyone was scheptical but you clearly have experience and did things correctly. As we all said, it's SO unusual to have the Vishay-Dales be worse than spec, that no one could believe it!
I can mail you a couple if we still have some extras, we probably do..if you can't get them locally. You can get hold of me via PM

Perhaps you would like to Google "clean legs"
Googling and if compare temperature with soldering station this is much "hotter " pairs Best regards
Haha ...yours is not the same resistors ...little more oxided legs
