I am a little suspicious of the Allen Bradley Club mentality, including vintage (carbon comp) resistors, transformers, caps, etc. When I have bothered to listen, I have often chosen "selected", "non-inductive" wire wound R for plates and "selected" tantalum R for cathodes and other RCs, etc. My objective in the trials has been to retain the capability to sound hard and correctly dirty, when that's what is wanted. Care with stacking, grounding,and other issues goes a long way toward calming things down to allow for a proper "hardness potential" without consistent hardness. This may also be a factor in the "randomness" capability, which is really only freedom of movement, and not "randomness", per se. |
