N.O.S. Carbon Comp Types by Allen-Bradley, Stackpole and Others.
Quantities of these N.O.S.
carbon
composition resistors are limited; most production has ceased in the
USA.
'Carbon comps; remain popular with D.I.Y tube guitar and hi-fi amp
builders;
there's a rosy glow around the notes that drives 'scope jockeys' nuts
and
makes the rest of us reach for our guitars and records. Most of the
vintage
tube gear we know and love was built using this type of 'antique'
carbon
resistor; you'll see loads of old Stackpole and Allen-Bradley resistors
in vintage Fenders, Marantz, etc. Allen-Bradley is considered by some
to
be the best example of this type of resistor with Stackpole and IRC
close
behind, but even the "maker uncertain" carbon comps we sell are equal
in
quality to those found in most classic tube gear. True, there is some
thermal
drift and a very slight bit of noise inherent in the design of carbon
composition
resistors but this is largely a 'non-issue' in most guitar amps
circuits
and most vintage hi-fi as well. Caveats? I wouldn't use carbon comps in
a new microphone preamp design, a high gain phono preamp for low output
moving coil phono cartridges or a headphone amp.
