Has anybody used any of these units for taping onto cassettes? Have you noticed any real reduction of surface noise from vinyl, tape hiss, improved dynamic range, etc.? As a side note, has anyone compared dbx encoded vinyl to DCC, Nautilus, etc.? thx jim
my experience is that dbx can be heard breathing on cassette. on open reel, not. ultimately, no noise reduction is better than dbx for sound. for cassette, i strictly recommend dolby s. ......regards.......tr
ghostly, youve almost got it right. typeI: variable compression/expansion, can be used as peak limiter/unlimiter also. type II: fixed 2:1 comp/exp, ONLY for record/playback of tape (better for reel, not so good for cassette) and playback of dbx LPs (would have been stiff competition for cd, dead quiet). dolby s: the most effective tape noise reduction made. dead quiet clear accross the freq band. bad timing kept it from competing with cd. .......regards.....tr
