Thank you Lew.
In fact two 600V hexfreds are 3X. So that's what I ended up doing. This turns out to be a fantastic upgrade! Amazing detail, bass and spatial resolution improvement by replacing the three 1N5408 Diodes that were there.
Not sure what you mean by Schottky's being quiet. The Hexfreds are "soft recovery" and 18ns response. To my ears they qualify!
Have you compared Schottky's to Hexfreds? I'm sure the lower turn on voltage contributes to less switching noise, but the Hexfreds forward voltage was than a comparable Schottky (.48V @ 8A).
Anyhow - not sure about the Schottky comparison, but the Hexfred to the stock diode comparison is clear. The Hexfreds rule!
Regards,
Jerry
