QRX-9001, Hunting for improvements...

Hello! I wonder if anybody have replaced the diodes on the driver boards of the qrx-9001, or similar driver boards, and if so, what effect did it have?
Reason for asking is this. I had a problem with the decoder in my qrx-3000. For trouble shooting I replaced the diodes on those boards but I still had the problem. A little more work with a computer generated QS signal and my scope, and I located the problem to a cold solder joint. Problem fixed and the decoder is now much better than before this problem developed. The only component I replaced was the diodes and it obviously had a very positive effect. The exactly same diodes are on the driver boards of the qrx-9001. Do these diodes ( 1s1588 ) get tired when they are ageing? The sound from qrx-3000 is still a little bit clearer than the qrx-9001. Can this be the reason? :scratch2:

Goran,
Would not doubt it's possible to have an age related problem with early diodes but not being the most experienced perhaps ask QuadBob what his experience has been. If he's not the most experienced around here with the Quads, I do not know who would be.
