If you can hide a brick wall limiter, why aren't you hiding the graphic eq, crossovers, DSP, etc? Seriously it's common sense here, present that artist with their tools, and you have yours. Don't let anyone use your tools unless:
a) they have proper credentials, i.e. a trusted friend says they are alright, their reputation precedes them, etc.
b) you have prior experience with them, and therefore trust them
c) you supervise them while they use your tools, to make sure they are taken care of
or
d) let them use your tools however they want, and maybe you'll get them back fine, maybe you'll get them back broken, abused, missing, or not at all.
I'm not singling out DJ's here. This isn't about stereotypes. This isn't about us vs. them. This is about establishing trust (yours of them), and taking responsibility for your own gear. It's ultimately you who are responsible for it.
