Many years ago, I assisted on a Deep Purple mixdown session. The engineer had been mixing/monitoring with a DBX 166 on the buss. After a couple of days I asked, "Aren't you going to switch to the 33609?" He thought about it for a minute and then switched to the Neve. A couple of hours later, he switched back to the DBX. Why? Because he'd worked the mix to that device and it sounded better--to both of us.
