RE: I have also read some good things about IXYS...

I had the Fairchild Stealth in a bridged configuration in my H/K Citation 18 tuner for many years. I had upgraded all the e-caps but the sound never did please me like I wanted until I took out the Stealths and replaced them with 11DQ10 Schottkies and the sound suddenly opened up with better transient response and dynamics. The highs and lows also became more extended as well. I am leaving the IXYS in my Sansui TU-717 tuner as it sounds just right to my ears. It's amazing how a simple diode bridge can make such a difference in the overall sound.
