Schottky are the best if you can find them in the voltage/amp rating you need, they are harder to find in high voltage/amperage ratings. Hexfreds are next best and are more widely available in higher voltage/amp ratings. Ive used the IR 11DQ10 100v/1.1a in my Marantz cd63se uppgrades and they worked well.

If you have the real estate and the bucks, diodes can be paralleled for greater current and seriesed (ok, you make up a word for that) for greater voltage.
You're right about that. I've wanted to install Schottky's in my tube equipment but have found them very hard to find. Parts Connexion has some, but they're beyond my budget.
Only need to install ONE diode to get all the alleged benefits from the new and improved design. But then the Vendors don't tell you that, either from ignorance or greed... you decide which :-)
