Illuminati (2nd Degree)

I would put best in comparable amperage but of the Schottky type. Less recovery noise. That being said, I have used the 1N5408 with no discernable difference in the sonics.

I used SB5100 which are 100 PIV/5A types I got from Mouser. I soldrered too close for too much time and overheated one. It failed short and when run w/o a fuse in-circuit, toasted my RS filament TX. New RS transformer and from my box a set of the 1N5408's. I found no difference.

It's no big deal I think, but knowing I have Schottky diodes makes me feel better.
regards,
Douglas
