If you plan to tape CD's with your tape deck, then dbx is the only
suitable noise reduction system, especially if you are into classical
music.  Dolby B is adequate only for ordinary pressings, while Dolby C
is marginal for audiophile pressings.  I have a Telefunken HighCom unit
(somewhat similar to dbx) and it is adequate for my audiophile pressings,
but it would be noticeable when recording CD's.  Yamaha's K-1000 deck is
an excellent deck and provides the kind of headroom with metal tape that
you need to get all that is potentially possible with cassette tape.
