Possibly the finest Audio Paper you can buy. When taking notes while recording, this paper offers low rustle and so reduces microphone noise pickup in your studio. A special feature is a quality adhesive backing, allowing you to attach notes to amplifiers, speaker units, and even CD cases with a minimum of fuss and with no deleterious effects on audio quality. Take advantage of this offer before the new year and we will throw in our audiophile-grade HorsePucky brand marker designed by a famous British technology company (specify blue or black at time of order).

ONLY $390.00 per packet (Hurry: Beat the 2005 price increase)

Fast Recovery Diodes (FREDs) and Schottky Diodes

Compared to silicon diodes, FREDs have a full and airy sound. The bass is tightened up, and the harsh edge in the mids and highs almost disappears. Details in the music start to come out with greater clarity than ever before. FREDs sound as close to a tube rectifier as one can get, while not requiring additional power to run a filament or heater.

Most modern audio equipment including amps, preamps, CD players, etc will be improved significantly by installing FREDs. Good vintage hi-fi candidates for upgrading to FREDs include: Fisher 400, 500, 800 receivers, Fisher tube integrated amps with silicon rectifiers, EICO HF-87 and HF-89, Harman-Kardon Citation II and V, H. H. Scott 340B receivers, Sherwood integrated amps and receivers, McIntosh amplifiers, preamps and tuners, Marantz amplifiers and preamps, etc. Heck, they will even make most of your solid-state gear sound much better.

Think what they colud do in a transmitter  PSU!  Actually come to think of it I'm half way there as I use schottky diodes as the damper diode in my PDM modulator - no wonder it sounds good!
