Rocket dropping string

Hi

The Rocket psu have two 9k1 in series. Can I replace those two with a 18K in the same wattage or does it need to be more than 2W?

Thanks
Joakim

At idle that resistor is probably getting hit with about 0.7watts. A 2 watt would probably be okay but its lifespan would not be as long if you put in a higher rated resistor. I am not familiar with the rocket preamp so you might want to verify the current draw of each tube using someone's posted voltage chart. I'm sure theres a few posted formthe rocket somewhere.

Thanks surfsup!

I'll order a 4W to be on the safe side.
