Thank You TWL. Applying "band-aids" is not always the best solution. Fix the problem, not the results of the problem.
Eldartford, Moved On? I sincerely sympathize.

You poor shell of a man. :>)

It's been real, Ed.
Eldartford, I would also have to assume that you practice the use of heartburn medications instead of avoiding foods that give you heartburn?
Eldarford, Do I detect a tone in your voice?

Being the non-confrontational, peace loving individual that I am, I would prefer to decline any further discourse, and instead would like to formally invite you over for dinner, just in order to maintain a non-animous rapport.

Let's see.....

Our menu could consist of:

Beethoven/Symphony No.7 (A DBX encoded LP)

Followed by.....

Beyond The Sound Barrier (ANOTHER) DBX encoded LP)

And as a palate cleansing finish.....

Tums. (Cherry Flavored)

Our time could also be entertained by discussing antiquated, miserably failed, unaccepted technologies developed as "band-aids" in order to attempt to repair problems that should not have existed in the first place.

A good time is surely guaranteed for all.

Please R.S.V.P. A.S.A.P.
An expedient response is requested.

Most Respectfully, Ed.

Oh, with a great degree of reluctance I have to admit, Yes. I still have the DBX records I mentioned. I actually had about a dozen of them (I think that was the complete DBX library). I gave them all away yet these two managed to hide and avoid transfer of ownership.

My opinion of the DBX format was very much like yours. As I am sitting here reading the gatefold cover, I am still amazed that DBX claimed a 90db dynamic range through their use of "Linear Decibel Companding". It DID work. I had actually started with the original 3BX. That unit was the ORIGINAL all discreet unit. The rack mountable 3BX and 4BX units that followed used ICs.

The use of the 3BX in conjunction with a Luxman 10 band parametric equalizer and a DBX 222 tape noise reduction unit was the cats ass. (That was a whole BOX of band-aids).

All that shit back then "daisy chained together". Let's see , if memory serves, it went from Pre Amp to EQ, EQ to DBX, DBX to Noise Reduction, Noise reduction to Tape Deck, Tape deck BACK to Noise reduction, Noise reduction to DBX, DBX to EQ, EQ to Pre Amp and finally Pre Amp to Amps. I always firmly believed in the shortest possible signal path.

And now I cringe just thinking about using a separate power amp.

P.S. What about dinner? We could forget about the Tums.
Dave, Why set yourself up for a devastating blow of this magnitude? The coordinates for those 18 year old girls will be of absolutely no consequence to you.

Having a beautiful 18 year girl old admire you because of the fact that you remind them of their dearest grandfather could be considered extremely detrimental to your ego.

Not to mention your libido.

An even more extreme level of devastion will be experienced when Gloria (The General), finds you and Eldartford, plotting coordinates to russian school houses containing 18 year old blond girls. Eldartford can't even embrace the wonders of analog, nevermind embracing someone female, 5'8''tall, 120 lbs, with a body as hard as the sound of SACD.

Dave, My suggestion to you would be to go back downstairs to your listening room and play with your Symposium rollerblocks.

Your ego and your libido will fair much more favorably.

Doh Svidahn'Ya to you too.

Respectfully, Ed.
