Noted. I'll ping you when I'm upgrading my 12,000 FR12s.But buying 12,000 resistors at a time, the cost for metal film was not much more.
Maybe pricing has changed in 10 years though from what I remember. But it was a fraction of 1¢ difference.
I would prefer they save money elsewhere in the design, that actually does kill the hiss. And then buy metal resistors for the audio path , and lower tolerance caps.
For the V2 preamp design, it's on my list of mandatory spec. Because my name is on it.
