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. -- Herb Chong...
