My question too, what does it hurt to put the resistors and capacitors
across modern diodes?
Don't tell me it isn't needed. Tell me what is it going to hurt if I want
the belt and suspenders.
I've always put the resistors and capacitors across my diode string designs
and have never had a problem doing that, so please enlighten me, what is it
going to harm.
