I have the Peachtree on the way for my next build. I know it’s a close of the Missing Link Audio Hotlanta dual drive. They also offer a hotlanta le that has germanium components. My question is what components would be swapped for germanium? I searched and couldn’t find any useful info on the interwebs. I am assuming it would be the diodes? But which ones in particular, the Bat 41 signal diodes would be my guess since the 1N5817 is for the power right? Which germanium diode would be a good choice for the swap? Thanks in advance for any info.

Yep, it would be the BAT41's. Although, I can't imagine it making that much of a difference since the BAT41's are usually used to emulate Ge diodes. The marketing is super vague though. Either way I would just recommend installing some sockets then trying different diodes.
Edit: Circuit looks very similar to a Zendrive. I would guess it's basically a Zendrive with Ge diodes.
