Anyone mind to discuss theese ?

I have them in a pre-amp. Cant say that I could hear difference between Mur 860 from On Semi. Also have tried the fancy Fairchild without a great difference. I don't want to listen that hard

Cool,
i really like this picture.

Exactly opposite from having fun !

Anyway,
if nobody will come across 'til tonight,
the decision is made.l

Well schottkys tend to leave an impression of detail in sound. Do not know if it is false or not... I noticed good improvements in Tape decks and CD players, but hexfred soft recovery are much less intrusive IMO.

I believe soft recovery is more interesting than ultra high speed recovery for riaa purposes.

My choice is Hexfred HFA08TB60PBF, Ultra fast / Soft Recovery 8A

Cruz has good taste, IMO.

For what it is worth, Skotkys have zero recovery time.
Some think that silicium-karbite sounds better.
It is not a big deal. When the layout is for TO220 you can change the diode to another type when it is important for you.

Benedetto · 6th February 2013, 08:11 PM

I second that.
And, that's what made this decision easy to me.

Indeed the specs are awesome http://www.cree.com/~/media/Files/Cr...icalPaper1.pdf

Some say sic are the best..... IMO I got real improvements using those in my CDP.... but for analog ?

A question of taste perhaps...

RCruz · 6th February 2013, 08:45 PM
