RE: replacing 1N4003 with better diode at power amp stage...advices pls

you only need snubbers on switching diodes ...schottky's s a mass migration principle and therefore no reverse switching ie a snubber on the schottky's may inhibit their very good performance ....

having swapped more 1nxxxx diodes for schottky's than I'd like to admit to... its clear to me that the gear sounds better if you remove the snubbers often prviously fitted to tame the 1nxxxx diodes clicking .. this of course is only my opinion but I do thinkit sounds better
