Anytime he did, a step forward sonically, so he reported. A buddy of mine who is an amplifier and speaker designer is so paranoid about magnetics that he replaces even op-amps and BJTs by comparable types having non-magnetic leads. No, i cannot give a scientific explanation for that, just listening experience. When i replaced them by non-magnetic bushings, much better. Even with the magnetic collet chuck bushings of the fancy German WBT RCA plugs this was the case. Everytime i swapped a magnetic component against a non-magnetic one of comparable quality, sonics became more open, more musical, PRaT improved, sand between the teeth gone. Anode chokes and signal transformers are heavily magnetic.īut i try to avoid magnetic components as far as possible from lots of sonic comparisons i made in the past. I have to agree with Jocko as far as i refuse to accept any mica as not guilty for sonic mess unless this particular mica has proved to improve sonics in this particular application and i have tried before with moderate violence to rip off the legs and then measured for internal shorts.īeing a tube person, i cannot avoid magnetic components totally. OffTopic: i refuse to use most mica capacitors for the same reason as the Holcos and i am the mica man here. Shinko Tantalum: most beautifulm sonically Vishay metal band resistor: simply the best but sonically merciless. I do not use such junk, no matter how it sounds.ĭale: haven't yet stepped into non-magnetic ones and i found all magnetic resistors to be loathsome, including Dale, and bettered by nonmagnitic ones Holco: lead2element contact mechanically unstable. Later i settled on tantalum resistors made by Corning, they were better. Once got samples from Allen Wright, tried them out in the SE MC headamp as drain and input resistor. The light blue Beyschlag metal film resistors are slightly magnetic, nevertheless they sound very good.
