wrong resistor

[Doc B]

Yes, I just verified that we were sent the wrong part, a 34.7K resistor instead of 34.7ohm resistor. This will affect the recent Mainline and Eros kits we have shipped. We will get the proper resistors on order today and ship them ASAP to anyone who ordered a kit recently.

Hello,

Can they be exchanged with similar values (33R/36R/39R) 5% Metal film, or this will degrade sound quality? Shipping to other end of the world takes ~4 weeks + customs clearance costs ten times the resistor value..
Otherwise, can simple metal film of similar values be used for testing, and then exchange the part once the replacement arrives?

Thanks

36 ohms would be an acceptable substitute.

Thanks!
Any sonic benefits to upgrade later to the propper value?

No.
