power diode parallel caps I notice that eg Fender have the diodes in their bridge rectifiers paralleled by small value caps (eg .002 uf). This removes a very narrow but tall spike on the power rails. Anyone else use this, or notice it make a difference? |

Anon said,"It also adds some protection to the diodes for line transients as well as removing a large source of EMI." This is true, I'm just suprised at how few people mention this (I have a fairly good tech library). Live and learn! |
