Caddock MP series or other's similar thick film

Absolutely the most transparent of all, and very nearly zero inductance. Many different values come in a variety of ratings and are reasonably priced, available for $5 from any decent electronic supply house such as Mouser. Parts Connexion also sells them, at a bit of a premium. If you need only two watt rating, you won't need a heatsink, but it probably wouldn't hurt to use one (they clip on and need no support other than the resistor's leads), also available from PC and Mouser for a couple bucks.

The leads are short for mounting in PC boards, but you can solder on little pigtails if needed. The leads are not delicate, but neither are they as robust as wirewound types. They sound more accurate than any of those exotics, almost all of which I have tried, all of which color the sound no matter what they claim.

Peace,
