Has anyone had any experience with the Technics 245X cassette deck?  It has
Dolby B/C and dbx.  The deck is available through mail order places for about
$200 (I have seen $179).  Though not built 'like a tank' might it be a good
interim tape deck for someone who doesn't want to spend $350?  I hear that
this deck disconnects the record level control when dbx is engaged (I assume
the channel balance control works!) because the claimed dynamic range of the
deck with dbx exceeds the dynamic range of most program sources.  Can anyone
verify this feature?  Does it make sense?
