Audio Grade Diodes / Rectifiers
Your preamp,
power amp, CD player, etc. must convert AC wall voltage to DC voltage to power the
internal circuitry. Diodes do that job, some better than others. These are the better
ones. Extremely fast switching, 'soft-recovery' diodes simply sound better for audio
purposes. We also have very low-noise Schottky diodes that work great in the
heater circuits of tubed equipment (due to their switching characteristics) and
in almost any low voltage power supply. Not all fast diodes are created equal. We have done the extensive listening to
find the best.
More info and useful wiring suggestions coming soon.
