Can you give me your opinion sir.Is going with the non-inductive resistors going to make a difference? And the silver plated hook-up wire

Hi Larry
Sorry for the delayed response. The resistors I always use are precision metal film and very low inductance by design. The silver plated hook up wire is very high quality wire and will do certainly do no harm.

This falls into the very subjective areas of audio listening generally noted by "your mileage may vary". I do not have any equipment capable of measuring the difference between the stock wire and metal film resistors and the non-inductive wirewounds and silver plated wire you are considering.

Both will be premium upgrades. Ensure that you use the same or larger gauge wire than the stock installation. BTW, I often upgrade my amps with the silver plated high strand count teflon insulated wire like you are considering more for the fact that I have the wire and these are my amps in my collection. Kind of a feel good factor for me.

Sorry I could not be of more help to you.

Another way to think of it is the wire wound resitors include a series inductor with every purchase. Inductors introduce phase shift. Metal film rsistors are every bit as stable, quiet, and less noisy than wirewounds, and no inductor!
I know the silver plated wire Joe is recommending. Boy is it pretty, and very easy to solder!
