Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

I don't understand one of your comments.

"Technically (again, educated arguments to arrive in the near future) Schottkys are not suitable for audio bridge rec's, I've used 11DQ10, with specs more than adequate for low voltage cdp's/dac's and each time the regulators boiled compared to before, and I have tried better bigger caps and transformer."

Either the rectifiers are working or they are not. The small additional DC voltage that results from using Schottkys instead of junction rectifiers should not cause regulators to "boil."

I hope you can clarify this, because others I know have used low voltage Schottkys successfully.
