RE: Apostasy follows

snip.... If you can hear a difference in rectifiers, either the rectifier is substandard or there is a problem in your power supply (design or faulty part).

So there is a difference then, in the sound of a "non"-substandard rectifier and a sub-standard rectifier. I assume by sub-standard, you mean a lesser build quality....whether it be the quality of the materials used, or assembly assembly, ....or maybe just used up? But....there's no difference in sound between the rectifiers that lay between "non"-substandard and sub-standard?

It's just good or bad sound? Black and white. Real beer or NA?


What follows the rectifier is an extreme low-pass filter. If the power supply and the rectifier are up to snuff ANY properly functioning rectifier should sound like any other.
