Well ya see, maybe I'm not deaf?? There was someone complaining about the sound of a Fairchild Stealth so I stayed away and went with the IXYS.
Follow Ups:
I had the Fairchild Stealth in a bridged configuration in my H/K Citation 18 tuner for many years. I had upgraded all the e-caps but the sound never did please me like I wanted until I took out the Stealths and replaced them with 11DQ10 Schottkies and the sound suddenly opened up with better transient response and dynamics. The highs and lows also became more extended as well. I am leaving the IXYS in my Sansui TU-717 tuner as it sounds just right to my ears. It's amazing how a simple diode bridge can make such a difference in the overall sound.
Yuge! So it looks like it may kinda come down to the IXYS fred soft recovery or a non Cree shottky in terms my and others opinions. The Cree's get panned as being bright and brittle?? Some do like them. Some prefer Shottky's to the fred soft recovery but I have not heard them. Can't or won't do everything. Both our and a number of others experience lend weight to the IXYS's as being at or near the top of the list. Having fewer choices makes things a bit easier. So a good test would be IXYS vs a well thought of non Cree Shottky and maybe the Cree?? If you ab something against the IXYS please let us know. Beating the IXYS in any significant way would be very impressive. T456
