Are carbon films worth the trouble?

[dorrisant]

I've decided what I'm going to do.

I plan on measuring out the metro board with shorter lead spacing , send the DIYLC file to Hoffman and have an updated board built that will take modern parts.

If I'm not mistaken metal film and carbon film resistors are approximately the same size, so I'll be able to swap out parts over time.

This amp was intended to be a long term, modifying, trying parts, to get it how I want. I'm just figuring I'm starting off with a clean slate with the parts I've chosen at the moment

Just curious what that cost would be. I do this all the time with layouts in DIYLC. I export as a pdf and recreate the layout in a CAD program so it can be reported as a dxf.

I got a Metro board already staked to shorten some gaps, add a few parts, and section for PTP per tube if it's best. I think Hoffman is around 30-40 per staked board?
