RE: The issue with Dbx

I had 20 DBX records at one point. I never noticed any pumping with the records, but I also had a DBX noise reduction unit for my cassette tape recorder and it pumped, especially on dynamic material. The DBX records were very dynamic and noise free, but they sounded somewhat unnatural to me in comparison to direct-to-discs and other audiophile pressings. That's why I got rid of all my DBX records. I eventually got rid of my DBX noise reduction unit in favor of Dolby C, which sounded better to me without any audible pumping that I could detect.

Best regards,
John Elison
