We all love pictures!
Sorry about the diode confusion. I read this from Nelson Pass...
"Rectifiers
Yeah, sure, rectifiers are important, after all, the AC has to get converted to DC, but I don’t like the fast recovery types that some audiophiles have raved about. Fast recovery means that they withstand many amps and volts in a tenth of a few nano-seconds, something we don’t see very often on the old 60 Hz AC line. They are essential element in switching power supplies, but for regular "linear" power supplies, I much prefer SLOW diodes, and we create them by placing small capacitor circuits across the diodes, which greatly reduces radiated noise."
Thought this was interesting. Still, changing stuff is what makes the hobby fun!
