DBX 162 VU Vintage Compressor Limiter $1,099
EBAY SELLER AUCTION DESCRIPTION
"Up for sale is a DBX 162 VU Vintage Compressor Limiter.
This unit is in good condition for it's age, and works perfectly. This unit has had XLR connections installed, nice upgrade, and the signal capacitors were professionally replace about a year ago, so it's in tip top shape.
The DBX 162 VU is the stereo version of the famous DBX 160 VU. The 162/160 VU line is considered the holy grail of drum and bass compression. They have the perfect attack and release times for drums and bass, and really give you great punchy drums.
The new 160A/XT line switched to using IC Op Amps, as opposed to this unit, the 162/160 VU line, which used discrete VCA's, which everyone agrees sound better."

EBAY SELLER AUCTION DESCRIPTION
" Up for auction is for a good condition DBX 117 that has just had a Burr Brown Opamps put in to replace the old 4558 in the input and output stages!! It also has had all of the electrolytics replaced with high quality upgrades and a filter cap bypass mod on the PSU..The Burr Brown mod on these units in conjunction with the re-capp just makes these units sound so beautiful on audio..It can best be described as being: Warmer, with broader frequency response, increased headroom and a better three dimensional image..The filter cap mod helps to quiet down noise generated by the PSU and smooth out the ac ripple resulting in a smoother character as well.
