Yes, Paul it is good that you remind me it as I have been thinking about it for a few years and never put my hands on it. I am not a bit fun of batteries but I feel there is in Bidat an area that should be improved. Bidat has 3 power rectifiers and they all are crappy diode bridges bypassed with fast ceramic capacitirs to handle the switching noise. I do not know why John never addressed it and did not replace the rectifiers with better diodes, the diodes get better and better each year…. In my experience it should be an important modification and it might “open” up the Bidat bass a little. I would need to go for it in 2008.
