Not only do tube rectifiers cause sag, you will notice that the transients at the beginning of the notes get squashed a bit. An electrical engineer will tell you that transcients contain high frequency harmonics, so we perceive notes with softer (less loud) transcients as slightly warmer in tone.
You can hear this dramatically using the LSS in 5 watt mode (5Y3 rectifier). Notes sound softer and warmer, especially snapped or popped notes.
thanks a lot ylo. I'm not a tech (though i understand some electronics) but i find these arguments very interesting.

I fully understand that football is huge to you in Italia as it is in England to my relatives . Im a huge fan of football (soccer to us ). I cant understand why more people in the US dont embrace the sport as it is WORLD FOOTBALL playing against the rest of the world . I cant figure out why more Americans dont want to win on a global scale instead of just embracing American football which is just indigenous basically to just the USA . Wonder what he said to Zedine to make him lose his cool like that ?!
i like american football, but i must say i still prefer the great old rugby, much more physical even if not so spectacular! there are definitely two different sport cultures... many many people in italy love football (ops... i mean soccer
), but there are many who don't care for it and prefer american sports! so the same thing happens in usa. And however you could always win on a global scale with basketball, no?
Well in the end i'm happy you really don't care that much for soccer so we italian and europeans can always hope to win something! yours is such a big country that if you were a little bit more interested in soccer it would become hard for us... 8)
