Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Attacks come first in importance, and then decays, and harmonics on the continuus tone come last

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.
