It seems like maybe you're still confused on cathode and anode.

On the diode, the end with the black band is the cathode.
So, your (superimposed) diode photo and schematic symbol are opposite of each other.

I thought the silver body was the colored cathode band!

Cheers!

  Looking forward to a report about your findings on the sonic improvements, if you choose to post one, Jonesy.
