Yes, Dolby C had noise reduction in-between Dolby B and DBX. Dolby C had just the right amount of compression and expansion whereby it sounded good and yet provided enough noise reduction to increase dynamic range just the right amount without any audible pumping like DBX. The other advantage of Dolby C over Dolby B is that it didn't obliterate the high-frequencies like Dolby B. I thought the Dragon with Dolby C noise reduction sounded so good that I got rid of my Revox A77 reel-to-reel and bought a second Dragon. I'm not saying the Dragon made cassette tape sound just as good as reel-to-reel, but it came so close that I no longer felt the need for reel-to-reel. Of course, when Digital Audio Tape (DAT) came out, it sounded even better to me than reel-to-reel or my Nakamichi Dragon so I switched to DAT in 1991 and I've been into digital recording ever since.
