New to the already expansive line of audio grade resistors are the Niobium non-magnetic resistors. Material new to resistor manufacture and sonically a finer more even sound to their normal choice of Tantalum for their resistive layer material. HiFi Collective have the full listing for the 2 watts with the 1 watt and 0.5 watts soon to follow. These are priced lower than the Tantalum non-magnetic range. “They are definitely worth a listen.”
As is the case with all Audio Note resistors, they are manufactured using the sputter target process, which makes a much better sounding resistor but is also more difficult to use. Niobium is even harder to use than Tantalum as the temperature co-efficient of this material is far more difficult to control in production.
Leadouts are nickel plated copper.
