Cary SLP98 Hexfred mod

So I want to do the Hexfred mod to the Cary SLP98. First thing I see when I take apart the power supply is that they have 3 diodes in series on each leg of the half wave rectifier. (1N5408s) Are they doing this to get a voltage drop similar to two regular rectifiers? Do I need to put enough Hexfreds in series to get the same drop? Seems pretty persnickity as we're talking about one volt out of a couple hundred.

It looks like Cary wants you to buy four at a time. To put in series?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards,

Jerry
