Audio Note Tantalum Non-magnetic Resistor

I just installed some of these and some Audio Note Silver Tantalum resistors in my Dac....wow what a difference.

I love the sound of TDA1541 dac chips, now my Old-School Dac really sings.

Non-magnetic resistors? What makes them magnetic? Nt - Geoffkait 12:45:57 10/17/24 (5)

  of cheap resistors (and capacitors) can be ferrous and be attracted to a magnet. Especially vintage parts where there was not much concern for the quality of the leads. I don't know if a bulk metal foil resistor body per se can be magnetic.

    Not much compared to magnetic field of transformer.

      though infinitely more than "non magnetic", proportionally, if that is what they really are.
