After getting familiar with the D-LA2A, I have been impressed and enlightened. Critical listening is an endless degree in itself. The more carefully I listen, I notice more and more of what is and isn't happening.
Anyway, I believe I'm hearing a softening of the recorded material passing through it. Not softening in terms of dynamics, albeit that's normal of course but in frequencies. Is it common practice to e.q. after using compressors like the LA2A, 1176 and their DIY variants? There appears to be a dip in airy-ness a little or a darkening.
I especially find it interesting what it does to transients. I wish there were operating tips/techniques/instructions to get better at operating this thing.
