anyway, I didn't want to bitch or so, just wanted to say that this FAQ-thing is great, just added that slight hint (I confirmed the difference in many blind-tests, they're subtle but definitely noticable)

They could be different power ratings. I haven't heard of too many RI 9s using carbon-comp resistors - and it's possible that the 'difference' heard in the double-blind is because of a different chip used in some of the RI pedals.
I've personally done double blinds solely changing the resistor type - handpicked resistors within one part in a thousand of each other, switched by DPDT in the same pedals, and nobody could notice the difference. I once posted them on a different forum and people asked me 'okay, now where's the other one you tested?' - not buying it.
ffaudio, if you really buy into the carbon-comp thing you're going to have to put them in the pedals yourself. A TS7 and a TS9 have the same guts, so get the cheaper one (the TS7) and buy the carbon-comp resistors from an electronic store somewhere. If you don't go for the mojo, the TS7 is the TS9, so picking one of those up will do just fine for you.
