i change the signal chain and take a listen. flipping eq before and after comp does sound different.
the big issue i hear is that compressors tend to kick in with long waveforms. that may be ok if the track is supposed to have a long waveform such as a kick. but say you have a bunch of rumble in your triangle track...well, you don't want the compressor kicking in there. so you filter it first.
i tend to try and use as little processing as possible and stick to one eq and one compressor.
