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? -- Gary Wasserman ...harpo!inmet!grw ...hplabs!sri-unix!cca!ima!inmet!grw ...yale-comix!ima!inmet!grw
