Rectifying Diodes 4007s

Stryker11487 · 6th June 2009, 05:00 AM

I currently have IN4007 rectifying diodes in my amp but have been told the UF4007 or SF4007 are by far better rectifiers. I've looked over the data sheets but has anybody truly played with these or found if there is indeed a significant change in any audio qualities?

How can anyone answer this question? It depends on your experience, ears, system, taste. Maybe you will like them better, maybe not. Statistically, the average diyer seems to completely deaf so it shouldn't really matter. Of course it will only cost cents to find out for yourself...

where are you going to use this UF4007 or SF4007 ? DAC or amp ?

Whether or not there wil be a sonic advantage depends much on the circuit, the layout, the grounding, the bandwidth... Since they're cheap and can't hurt, I use them as a matter of course.
