Thanks again for posting more detail! I’ve built a circuit using regular components till my pio caps and other mojo parts arrive, this circuit sounds awesome! Just doing some comparison tests between 1n4148, nos mil spec 1N4148 and 1S1588 diodes on my test rig. The difference is only very subtle.
FV of the diodes (I don’t know much about the characteristic):
- 1N4148 - 0.6v
- NOS MS 1N4148 - 0.568v
- 1S1588 - 0.592v
I’m torn between the 1S1588 and NOS 1N4148’s.
