Gary quips: I am Curious Keith, what kind of noise reduction systems are you familiar with when it comes to recording on tape. DBX was one of the best noise reductions I have ever used for recording. ARNS was another good type of noise reduction. you couldn't beat DBX. I don't know how old you are, but in the seventies, everyone coveted DBX.
What's your Point? I'm well aware of Dolby and it's characteristics! Noise reduction right? I think you missed my point here so let mme try to define it so you will understand my comment as it pertains to the thread. Here's what I wrote: > Erroneous! > > You will always suffer from sound quality degradation every time you > duplicate an analog source file. What this means is that if you take the original analog source, in this case LP's as per the subject line, and record it on to another analog source, as you suggested, cassette tapes, then transfer it to your PC to Wav and/or then MP3, you will loose more sound quality then if you did the same excluding the cassette tape step and just recorded the LP directly to a digital format. I hope this clarify's things for you Gary...Keith ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary G Schindler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
