maybe the wrong forum for this. But what if any are the advantages to having a trnsformerless compressor. Reason I ask is this. I have a buddy working at a mastering studio in town that prides itself on the fact most of the gear is tube and that they havn't changed it out since they oppened. For comprssion the are using a modified LA2A which as discribed by them is transformerless. They don't mention of op-amps. So I am wondering what advantages this would have from a design point other then less $.
