I just had this idea while reading about DOAs in the EQP5 thread.
The JLM is reportedly a great opto compressor, but it doesn't have the midrange push that the LA3A has. I was wondering, has anyone tried using Hairball's Raindog DOA, the one that sounds like the frontend of an LA3A, in a JLM LA500?
Maybe that could get the JLM closer to the LA3A character? Hmm ...

I do have the OLA5. Though it's DOA is on the output side. I think the LA500 is on the input? So would be a bit different. |

I'd planned on a big op amp shoot out but just got on the back burner. That would be fantastic!! I have an Audioscape V3A and I could run a source file to compare tones! |
