I talk to digikey on the phone but they do not carried 7W only 10W in
stock. Don't you think it works? there also some on ebay but I'm not
so sure about quality. Please give me your opinion. Thanks again,
1. Yes, it will work. Power dissipation has nothing to do with it
"working" or not; it just indicates how much power you can run through
it without damaging it. A 10W resistor resists just like a 7W
resistor.
2. Quality, schmality. It's a goddamn *resistor*, for chrissakes.
(Unless you're one of those audiophool suckers who falls for
gold-plated connectors, monster cables and such.) Makes no difference.
Well actually it is likely to also be an inductor. But probably
insignificantly so.
So it makes no *detectable* difference. Glad we settled that.
I'm sure it can be measured, thus detected.
So this is what, a "golden ears" observation?
Come on, get real. I'm starting to think that the problem in this thread
isn't that the O.P. is overthinking things, as Dick Pierce has surmised
(or that he's just an idiot, per Meat Plow's usual conclusion). Well, if
he is full of doubt and uncertainty, it's because people like you keep
posting things that make him believe that he can't just replace the
damned resistor with an ordinary power resistor and be done with it. So
thanks for muddying the waters here.
