In Reply to: RE: The Schotky Cree diodes make a tremendous difference in every place I have used them. posted by petercapo on December 28, 2016 at 11:12:41:
Schottkys have very low, almost non-existent, out of band switching harmonics. So, other than through a higher and very clean HT DC voltage, how can you 'hear' them?
IME the sound quality improvements from soft recovery (SR) quiet SS diodes in valve amps is the far higher energy storage you can achieve:- they don't have severe PIV limits and the HT is also higher.
The energy storage is a f'n of the voltage squared so added to 300V even 10 extra volts has a large effect.
