Paul, what you wrote is absolute insanity. The Fairchild "Stealth" diodes are ultra-fast switching and ultra-soft recovery. I do not know their switching numbers but the best from this class do 30-40mS switching and it is very good. Schottkys in contrary have no reverse current at all by design. Also, if by switching the diodes you were able to get less noise that you “had always thought of as part of the LP-sourced background” then there is a LOT of wrong with this devises where you did it. The change of diodes does affect “noise” but it is not the noise that you can hear and confuse with LP noise. Also, be advised that all ultra-fast/ultra-soft diodes need ~ 20-30 days to sound stable, before, they have sound all over…. Anyhow, a lot of what you said just does not make any sense to me.
