ClassD said: However if you are using the diodes in a standard 50Hz bridge rectifier then there will really be no diffrence because the frequency is so low.I used to think so too. Get your scope out and have a look at the transformer secondary voltage under load. Zoom in to where the waveform is just starting to move away from the flattened peak and head toward zero again. As a slow diode recovers it will "snap" the reverse recovery current off suddenly, causing the transformer winding to ring somewhat. Fast, ultrafast and schottky diodes (and vacuum tube rectifiers for that matter) turn off more cleanly and don't "twang" the transformer winding and generate noise in the process.
