Today I must decide between used Aphex Expressor 651 and Focusrite Compounder for same price (300$). I've tried to find used TC Electronic Triple C but it seems that nobody is willing to part with them and not much people know about this toned down TC multiband. As I mentioned in earlier post I will be using dynamics processor on gigs,not for recording music. I need transparent uncolored but not thin sounding dynamics unit.
The other question is regarding Phonic T8200 Tube Optimizer. I will need some warm sounding something for recording vocals with Rane ms 1b preamp. I don't have budget for high end tube equipment. Where does this Phonic stuff stand in comparison to budget Focusrite, Presonus etc.? Would it be better to use Rane on acoustic guitar and percussion and buy Tampa for vocal recording? Phonic is suspiciously cheap but ih has great looks which makes me even more suspicious about their quality. I found only one review for T8200 on Phonic website.

Perhaps getting some Funky Logic rack stuff will do.
