For the record, Rick corrected me today. The original DBX vcas apparently DO indeed sound better/different to the THAT vcas. I was refering to the 'gold can' vca which is often used in these builds, which in my opinion do not sound better than the THAT ic's.

Rock on:)

the original dbx chip sound in ssl clones "different" not better
they are a bit harder to null andi guess not spec'd as well as the new that version so they probably actually sound worse !( err better)

only the early ( first 50 or so al smart c1 have the dbx chip ) he moved on to "thats" quite early but i have compare a new c1 with my c1 (serial number 11) - mine is more "ssly"

i am unsure which year SSL did the same swap , but it was cause the dbx chip stopped getting made at some point
