[Amps] Rectifier equilization?

[Hardy Landskov]

I have just rejoined the amp list after a few years and am wondering if the diode equalization question was ever resolved.
I am building a new bridge HV PS and it uses 12 diodes per leg. Rich Measures says using a .01 & 470K across each diode is no longer needed due to improvements in semiconductor manf. processes.
I have 100 1N5408's that came off the same reel so I feel they should be matched fairly close.
I would like to hear a few opinions.
Thanks
