OK,
guess I'll try a real post now that I saw my second test come through. But I
got a very strange autoreply message with it from [email protected]
though, what's up with that?

Barry,

1% metal films are usually used in low noise low level equipment; they are
not expensive and have excellent performance. Not really worth using in a
390 however, you'd never hear the difference between them and a carbon film
or carbon comp.

From the chuckles department, an actual quote from a post I read in the
rec.audio.tubes newsgroup.....

" I don't like metal film resistors, they sound bright and analytical."

Hmmm,
:^)
