DBX vinyl discussion (moved from "Who Are You" thread)

[SeeMoreDigital]

I used my Panasonic S-VHS deck far more for recording radio since it had much better sound quality. That's still in my rack but doesn't get used often now.

Lol... My JVC S-VHS deck is in my loft along with some blank S-VHS tapes... Most probably all rotting away now. Too much sentimental attachment to these things!

I have half a dozen blank JVC S-VHS tapes still in the shrink wrap. Mostly 180 minutes with one 240 minutes. I also have one of each of TDK MA-XG C90 and TDK MA-R C90 cassettes still in the shrink wrap, together with one of each that I opened but never used. Colleagues at work in their 20s have never seen any.

Here is a picture of one I grabbed from online model 224. There were a couple of later model variations but I understand this is the preferred model for decoding dbx encoded records.
At one time you could find them for around $20 online have not checked for years. I have a couple including some dbx encoded records including Who Are You.
Some of the classical records had astonishing dynamic ranges.

That's the dbx unit that I had, the 224. In addition to its excellent performance, I always loved the low-profile look of it.
