I own a substantial number of Barclay-Crocker tapes, as well as many other open-reel tapes encoded with Dolby B noise reduction. To me they are unlistenable without being decoded-much too bright. It sounds like the issue is not with the tapes, but with your decoder. Are you sure you have set the Dolby level correctly? (Barclay-Crocker tapes have a reference tone at the end of each side.) I play my B-C tapes either on a Revox A-77 Mk III with built-in Dolby, or an Otari MX5050B-II feeding a Dolby 330 decoder. Either way, they sound wonderful.
