Re: It is a matter of terminology.

I agree. Reduce the sludge. Added warmth and richness usually slows things down. The skinkohs added warmth and richness is slight but using too many and in the wrong places can slow a circuit down and make it too sweet. To properly take advantage of their superior musicality you have to know where to use them. I've found that they work to the best effect on input tube grids and cathodes and also as input resistors for non tube projects. Here they sound very transparent with just a hint of warmth and have some of the best timing and musicality I've heard. They don't seem to like high voltage much.

All resistors are colored and distorted to some extent. I think you just have to pick your poison. Using different resistors where they are the strongest works the best.
