But Dave,? didn't you find that the metal films produced less RF noise?? Of course, when
you need a 100ohm resistor, all you have is 91ohms........

You did good with those carbon film resistors Chuck. Most of the resistors in my stash are the now ubiquitous 1% metal film types. Nice and stable, tight tolerance. Agreeable in every way, apart from the color codes on the blue bodies, which are so dang hard to read! I know I'm only saying something that has already been thought and said by 50 million homebrewers the world over but man, these blue-bodied resistors really are the scourge of homebrewers. And I have close to a lifetime supply of them. Aaaargh!
As I said, you did good with the tan-bodied carbon film resistors.
