I'm curious.  Why get the best tape that you can?  I seems to me that
dbx would place less stress on the tape.  This is because the signal is
compressed and has no problem fitting above the noise floor and the
signal ceiling.  (Say if you have 90db dynamic range in the original,
apply the 2:1 (or was it 1:2) compression and now the range is only
45db.  If you assume a lesser range to start with the end signal is
proportionally smaller.  You can record way under the peaks, thereby
preserving the high frequency response of you cassette deck.

I have a Nak BX-100 with a dbx model 228 noise reduction system and I am
very pleased with it.
