Warm Audio WA-2A Optical Compressor Warm Audio's WA-2A set its target high: the most iconic tube compressor in history. How does Warm do it? Through economies of scale, mostly. They don't cut corners on components (the WA-2A employs a custom optical photocell and genuine US-made Cinemag transformers), but they do order parts and build in quantity, which helps to keep costs down. Like the original classic unit, the WA-2A gives you a completely discrete signal path and the same arrangement of controls. And yes, it replicates the original's coveted warm sound and forgiving nature. Elevate your studio to the next level with the Warm Audio WA-2A.What can the WA-2A do for you? Every studio needs a good compressor, and the Warm Audio WA-2A is designed after the mother of all compressors — the legendary LA-2A Leveling Amplifier. With its euphonic, fluid, forgiving sonics and all-discrete, all-tube signal path, the WA-2A

Title: Competes with the original on every level.
Review: LA2A clones have been around for a long time. Most so boutique to justify 2k + for them is hard. Warm decided to break the glass ceiling with a unit that rivals the original with sound and looks.Do not let the price fool you pretty much all of Warms stuff sounds amazing. From what I hear the owner spent years finding the right transformer company, opto chip maker, etc.

Title: Lives up to the hype and at a great price.
Review: Since I haven't used a real LA2a in years I can't give a hardware comparison, versus numerous software versions this easily comes out on top for my purposes. Especially when aggressive compression is applied- just sounds thicker, grittier, rounder. I'm old school so favoring hardware may be sentimental as much as anything, but there is definitely a noticeable difference in a "adding color" way. If you're looking for transparent than you're probably not interested in the LA2a clones anyway. I liked it enough to order a second one from my rack. Though it's not cheap, it's a bargain compared to the others out there.
