Ham-set,

I think you are digging a hole in a wrong place. Regardless of any SiC alleged or actual problems I absolutely assure that the ham you have has absolutely nothing to do with type of the diodes you use but only come from grounding, shielding and interference. I tend to agree that “something” is not so clean with SiC diodes. If you remember I made my old version of Milq with regular super-fast switching and then went for high-voltage SiC Schottky. I do remember that when I measured how they return period to zero right before the choke I saw some anomalies. I did not give to them too much credit and I did not remember that it had any influence neither to Sound nor to noise.  I do not remember details already, it was a few year back and I do not do all of this shit anymore. I do remember that I was persuaded by the manufacturer’s propaganda and their reasons did make sense to me at that time. On my side I was only concerned only to set the chokes in the critical inductance and let them to squash anything before them. Right or wrong, I kind of do not want to think about it again and I am very glad that the hated by me soldering episode of my life is over. Anyhow, I still under impression that with all your desire to go into the DIY details you are dealing with regular ground loops.
