Austin, Tx Lines: 18 Summary: Dubbing 'em, analog & digital <><><> Let me second your comments about dubbing CDs onto analog tape, and add some experience with dubbing onto digital tape as well. The best way I have found to dub CDs is actually onto open reel, 1/4 inch, half-track tape at 15 ips with DBX type 1. With this setup I have not been able to hear any noise buildup (even between tracks) or breathing (even with low level frequency-limited percussive musical effects). Said method actually provides better noise performance than dubbing to digital VCR tape, using either a Technics SV-100 (EIAJ 14-bit) or Sony PCM-701ES (using 16-bit format). Of course, these methods have other advantages, such as tape cost, that make them the method of choice for me; in fact if not for the cost, I'd probably do all my dubbing onto analog in the manner mentioned above. Shmootek! Don Weiss
