In the '70's everyone thought tape sounded good. <grin> Seriously, you could get pretty good sound from chrome, especially if you could tweak the bias, but standard machines never got great enough sound from it to compare it to cd. I did have personally recorded tape made with the Older APH large tape recorders of voice, and it sounded very close to the originals to my ears, certainly better than ferics. I couldn't get any other machines to give me that good sound. Didn't matter what I did.

DBX was one of the best noise reductions I have ever used for recording. ARNS was another good type of noise reduction. you couldn't beat DBX. I don't know how old you are, but in the seventies, everyone coveted DBX. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Gillard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
