There's no need to state the obvious, which is that I don't care if it takes 5 minutes for the circuit to settle.
You have it heavily damped, under damped, over damped, lightly damped, critically damped, slightly damped or whatever damped you
want. I'm ok with that.

Then you don't know enough about what's going on. This low distortion sine wave exercise is - to an appreciable extent - an
exercise in keeping audiophools happy, and you need to give them a product that doesn't make them anxious.

 LOL I'm no audiophool but I do know that you would seize on any opportunity to tell someone else that they don't know what they're
doing Bill.

Like John Larkin, you are fishing for flattery, and resent it when you don't get it.

Actually the low distortion sine wave exercise was an exercise in finding out whether you can make a low distortion 1Khz oscillator
without using lamps, thermistors, opto devices or FETs as voltage variable resistors.

It's an interesting intellectual exercise, but it wouldn't be all that interesting if there weren't audiophools out there to buy an eventual product.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with audiophoolery.

Nothing that you can see.

If any aspects of the circuits make you anxious then I'd advise consulting a doctor for the appropriate meds.

More bad advice, and it reflects - once again - your poor grasp of message you think you are responding to. The anxiety was in the audiophool potential customers. I do get mildly anxious from time to time, but it's a rational and appropriate response to imperfectly predictable reality and no doctor (certainly not my admirable GP) would prescribe anything to reduce it.
