Resistor Price List

The Different types of resistors we have available are:-

• Audio Note 0.5Watt 1% Tantalum
• Audio Note 1Watt 1% Tantalum
• Audio Note 2Watt 1% Tantalum
• Audio Note Precision 1% Carbon Film

Audio Note 0.5W 1% Tantalum Resistors

With our in-house usage of tantalum resistors increasing all the time, and the Shinkoh becoming harder and harder to get in quantity, we have found it necessary to second source the 0.5W values in addition to the 1W already offered. The Audio Note tantalum resistors share most aspects of the Shinkoh.

Audio Note 1W 1% Tantalum Resistors

Up till now the tantalum film resistors have been extremely difficult to get, however, after much persuasion and against a minimum quantity guarantee from Audio Note UK, The manufacturers have agreed to widen the range of 0.5W and reintroduce the 1W range which has become an exclusive range for Audio Note, we consider this to be a major breakthrough, since without a reasonable range of values at the 1W rating it is pretty difficult to get the very best out of the best circuits.

Audio Note Tantalum 2W 1% Resistors

In many applications 2Watt resistors sound much better than 0.5Watt or 1Watt equivalent. Mr. Kondo uses 2Watt resistors consistently in many places rather than the smaller wattage for reasons of sound quality only.

Audio Note Precision 1% Carbon Film Resistors

In addition to the Tantalum Film resistors, a range of Audio Note 1% precision non magnetic carbon film resistors with gold plated oxygen free copper legs is available. In many cases the carbon film resistor is sonically preferable to even the tantalum film, not just if you are building an amplifier based on an old circuit, like for example the WE91 or other circuit of similar vintage, but in general. We shall be stocking values suitable for projects like the WE91 in 0.5W and 1W values. These resistors are made especially for us by a major manufacturer.
