?  ... not a sound bet, Tom.  .  According to Wes' measurements, with 
R-supp = 100-ohms,  by changing L-supp from #18 ga. copper (Cu) to #18 
ga. resistance-wire, Rp dropped from 166-ohms to 102-ohms.  In other 
words, Rp works in reverse -- i.e., More is Less in the world of series 
and parallel equivalents.  A short would have a high Rp.  //  REF: ... 
from page 7 ('Finding Impedance by Solving for Admittance) March, 1989 
*QST* "Calculating Power Dissipation in Parasitic-Suppressor Resistors".

?  Which is seemingly what the designer of the AL-1500 amplifier somewhat 
ignorantly presumed.  See Fig. 24 on my Web site.

?  Perhaps the time has come for you to take an A.C. Circuit Analysis 
course, Mr. Rauch?
