diodes

Ultra fast recovery diodes (i.e., Hexfreds, Harris, IXYS, etc) sound better than just any old diode and do make an audible difference in sound quality. Schottky diodes also promise to be superior to standard ones, but I have no personal experience. Diodes do make a difference. Cbird, you will want some technical assistance in doing this work; it is not trivial. You need to build a "full-wave bridge" from 4 discrete diodes and know where to tap it to get the positive and negative rails.
