Legit KoT/Paragon diodes?

[iamjackslackof]

Hi all,

I just pulled the trigger on this set of diodes for the KoT/Paragon. I'm no diode expert, but they look ok to me. Does anyone see any obvious issues or signs this might be shady? It's definitely pricey, but I only plan on building one once, and it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than the real deal, so why not splurge a little. Especially if it sounds as good as people say.

Thanks!

Yeah they look fine for Ma858 and have the mark on the cathode lead.

Measure the dc resistance of them when they arrive and measure a set of your 1n914/1n4148 and see what the difference is. The MA858 should measure higher and the 1s1588 should be about the same as your 1n4148
