Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

The hell of it is that you will probably have to peck away at working out your plate and cathode OPs at the same time, since measuring resulting values is a lot easier than actually predicting them.  Or, you will probably have to do this if you want to control wattage, anyway.  Just keep close track of all values and related impressions of sound - or at least sound trends - so you can subsequently repeat or avoid values/settings, etc., apropos.

And there's still more fun ahead!  I have noticed clear differences in sound when staying with the same values but changing only resistor type and/or brand.  Yippee!

I tend to like the "non-inductive" wire wound for plates and the "harder" tantalums for cathodes.  In any case, try for yourself and check out the differences.

As for speaker-level resistors, you could just use cement type, for all that, or try these:  http://www.duelundaudio.com/Resistors.asp
