Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

I have both the dbx 224 type II...

and dbx 150 Type I noise reduction unit that I was using with my Revox A77, Teac and or Otari RTRs. I find that type II sound somewhat a little incoherent and compress against type 1 which was a bit more open but at the expense of pumping sound intruding into the music every now and then. But it was barely noticeable mind you unless you're only focusing on it. Also, I noticed that the Otari greatly benefited from it as I've never heard it sounded so much better especially on the 15IPS at IEC equalization. I quit using them after I got my Revox PR99 MKII restored.

I can't remember selling them so I probably still have them in the closet somewhere.
