Germanium or schottky must be used in real ringmodulators, because of
the low voltage drop. I have made several of them, they have quite a
lot of nice sounding distortion and much less high frequency content
than "normal" ringmodulators.

I also agree that "normal" ringmodulators sound prety much the same. I
have one with an AD633 and one with a LM1496, the difference is very
small.
"Normal" AC ringmodulators can be made into DC by simply bypassing the
input caps.

You should have a few of both types.
