            <div class="PlainText">So I remember a time a few years in
              the past when people were really<br>
              upset that OTAs were being discontinued, because they were
              apparently<br>
              the only way to build some things with voltage control. I
              don't know<br>
              if those have been fully replaced with VCAs in their role.<br>
              <br>
              Here's another thought. Replacing a resistor with a
              semiconductor<br>
              doesn't just add resistance, it can also add capacitance.
              Maybe that<br>
              changes things. Also, now the item is ever so slightly non
              linear<br>
              rather than being linear. That's another thing.<br>
              <br>
              All three of those things seem like they could cause
              either issues (eg<br>
              capacitance somewhere makes a thing just not work at all)
              or could<br>
              change the sound. But I don't have any concrete examples,
              so I'm<br>
              hoping this will jog someone's memory.<br>
