[Elecraft] Metal Film Resistors In K2?

[Dave Richards]

I'm getting closer and closer to pulling the trigger on a K2 and I have a question that I hope Wayne or Eric will give their thoughts on.

I know that the K2 is known for it's low-noise receiver but I'm wondering whether substituting metal film resistors for the carbon film ones that come with the kit would reduce the noise even more? I'm thinking that it certaily can't hurt - that there could only be an upside.

I did perform a search before asking this question to see whether anyone else has asked, but didn't find anything.
