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. C-30 C-60 C-90 Go!!! pZ -- Flushed from the bathroom of your heart.
