WHY?????

Really need to see a schematic. AFAIK the only functional difference
between film and carbon is that latter are noisier.





A bulk carbon resistor has less self-inductance.

I kind of thought that might be the case....

I prefer using the old carbon resistors in vintage tube gear, but they
are getting hard to find and expensive. They are all NOS now. i dont
think there is any place making them anymore.
