I've not used it as a limiter, but as a compressor there is no other 
serious option under $500 list. Maybe even under $1k. It's pretty 
amazing. Don't let the wall-wart stand in your way.

While I haven't heard of it being used as a limiter in a monitoring 
situation, it is certainly transparent enough to handle it. What I'm 
not sure of is whether it would be -fast- enough to grab a transient 
before it fried a tweet, although the detector circuit in there is 
pretty stinkin' fast.

There's lots in the Usenet archives at Google in rec.audio.pro. Do a 
search for RNC and you'll come up with volumes.
