Tape Trail

Since ebay prices of BC tapes seem to have, for the most part, descended from their 17th-century-dutch-tulip-like prices, I'm curious as to what others think of their sonics, sans Dolby. I don't own very many (about 15), but for the most part, I'm not as offended by the highs without a Dolby unit as I thought I might be-in fact, I could say that they seem to have a bit more 'sparkle' on the top end without the processing. Certainly, there's no bad-RBCD-style teeth grinding going on. Anyone else?

FWIW, I have a couple of inexpensive Dolby units (Teac AN-60, Integrex), and I prefer the sound without them in the system.
