[Tom Wiltshire]

+1 agree with Rob, evidence is definitely required for for such a bold claim.

And it’s far less heat so everything else runs cooler and better.  I think too many people see the noise from their phone charger or whatever and assume a proper SMPS is like that.

In the PSU there are three GP-30G diodes tied at the -15, +15 and +5V outputs, listed as "Hi-Fi Special" both in the schematics and in the parts list. I never heard anything about a "hi-fi special" diode, any idea what that means??
