in our getting timbre, and expression.
This is unsurprising when you consider that lots of instruments - with timbre and expression, just don't do continuous tones, ever.
All this has been known for a long time.
I have heard a recording of an oboe with a clarinet attack replacing the original and we all thought it was a clarinet.
This is why matching rise and settle times into real loads are so important.
I lost interest in using valve rectifiers - anywhere - a long time ago.
Who wants sag / noise in a hi-fi PSU?
Even in a bias supply.
