>hi Ken,
>it appears the RRMs I just received don't have the germanium diodes as
>before:
>http://cgs.synth.net/modules/cgsrr.html
>" Each is hand assembled using matched 1969 germanium diodes (from a
>computer of the same vintage) and a pair of brand new 3k impedance
>transformers."
>
>The new ones look like silicone diodes instead?
>any reason for the change, what's the difference sonically?

>thanks!
