zener voltage regulator upgrade question?

216.41.133.198

Posted by alley-kat on March 15, 2003 at 16:48:36

hi everyone, i have a small jbl sub amp i'm modifying. it has zener diodes for +12v/-12v that feed my op amps. would i be better off switching to three terminal regulators such as lm317 and lm337? i'm not sure which zeners, or what voltages i'm dealing with yet have not had time to check yet. just curious if i would gain any sonics. anyone tried this? THANKS ALLEY-KAT
