In Reply to: now that I found out that MV tube diodes are no longer in production... posted by radiance on July 24, 2006 at 09:27:08:
as usual:) If you are going down this "low DCR" path because you want to try it out, great. But if you just want to build good sounding amps without a lot of wasted time and money I'd say don't bother. As you can tell the preacher don't know the whys. Plenty of other time proven designs where the whys are already known. It is one thing to try skinning the cat another way for the heck of it. Quite another to reinvent the wheel. So ask yourself just what you are trying to do and why.You can make a good sounding amp with either a cap or a choke input filter and with either tube or silicon rectifiers. The general feeling is choke input and tube rectifiers are worth the extra cost and lower B+.
