Carbon composition versus carbon film resistors!

I started repairing an EICO 950B bridge capacitance analyzer most resistors are the older carbon composition type, am having a hard time finding some older resistors

Can I replace them with the newer carbon film type without compromising the performance?

Thanks.

Has anyone tried Tantalum resistors in the ST-70 kit? They are expensive but may be worth it in a few selective areas if they improve the sound. Also, the kit has 1k ohm resistors on the grids of the tubes. Are these grid stopper resistors and should
Is there a burn in time for a new board [all new resistors, capacitors etc]. I put all new metal film resistors, new quad cap, new Solens' on a new 7199 board. And now I "wait for the warm sound". Not saying it sounds bad, it's just not
Hi everyone, many have you have my integra and Lancer and seen how immaculate my paint is. It's not magic it's called paint protection film (and maybe some car clean OCD ;)). I use venture shield and Llumar products which are far superior to 3M scotch
I'm a little confused. On the VTA70 Driver Board parts list I received for the Lo Gain substitutions, R11-R14 have a stated value of 33k 2W but the Mouser Part # is for a 36K resistor. R19-R22 have a stated value of 30k 2W but the Mouser Part # is for a
Hi I am thinking to lower the VTA output and this is a good chance to replace the resistors with better quality ones. Any suggestions? Riken, kiwame or...? cheers kost
