PWM style compressor

[Rory McDonald]

I have heard nothing but good press about the RNC (Really Nice Compressor).
They are pretty inexpensive, too. I have been tempted once or twice to get
one.
It's not tube based however.

OPinions... why sure !!!

The electroluminescent panel was the fastest light source of
its day. It could actually respond fast enough to compress the peaks
of the waveform, like a log response.

IMHO an LED is also fast enough to do this.

But without TUBES in the audio path, new designs will never
have the "sound"    (tee hee....)
